I got these to rivet some parts on a yard box. They fit my cheap rivet gun just fine and did the job. They are aluminum so they won't rust.

I ordered these "black" rivets for a job I am working on. My "black" grill table was loosing screws and was coming apart piece by piece. These black rivets now hold everything together very securely and there is no chance of them loosening or vibrating out as I take my grill table on our camping trips! I didn't even have to paint the rivets because they are already "black" and look as though they are original! Rivets are much better than screws.

"Pop Rivets" have been around for a long time, and can be quite useful for holding a variety of things together. These are "blind rivets," meaning they can be used in applications where you only have access to one side of the material (unlike classical, conventional rivets, where you need to insert the rivet from one side, and mash over the other end on the other side of the material to secure the joint).These come in a number of sizes. I ordered the 1/8 x 5/16" version. That designation means the rivet fits into a 1/8" diameter hole, and can join materials that total up to 5/16" thick. These are good for many common tasks, but you can choose whatever size(s) are applicable for your planned use. These rivets are made of black-colored aluminum, so they won't rust.You'll also need to obtain a pop rivet "gun," if you don't have one already. They're inexpensive, and available at virtually every hardware or tool store. In practice, you drill a hole through the pieces of material you want to join. Then insert the pop rivet into the hole. A pin sticks out through the head of the rivet--insert the pin into the hole on the rivet gun, and pull the handle. Depending on the thickness of the materials, you may need to do this more than once to get a tight, finished joint. Once the joint is tight, a last pull on the rivet gun handle will break the pin off. Discard the pin, and the rivet installation is complete.

100 is a lot less then you think when it comes to this type of stuff , but amount aside these are nice little rivets and its nice to be able to use them on something black and not have them stick out like a sore thumb .one of the rivets came defective and unusable , a bit unfortunate but what are ya gonna do

I believe these lengths are actually converted from millimeters, so the rivets I purchased should be 16mm in order to be 5/8” long, as the vendor’s own chart indicates. But they are shorter; closer to 14.5–15mm. If your application requires an exact length for a perfect fit like mine, look elsewhere. Otherwise, these are nicely finished in black but not sure how well the paint holds up as I had to return these (painting aluminum is tricky). Also, I’ve used other rivets that were a harder aluminum alloy—these are soft compared to those but probably fine for most general uses. I just wish they came in 3/4” length as well.

It seems a lot of people don't understand rivet sizes, so to start - these rivets are designed for a hole diameter of 3/16", and a gripping length (the maximum size of the two surfaces to be joined) of 3/4". There are other considerations, but let's just say these particular rivets are made to join up to 3/4" of sheet metal, plastic, etc. Examples would be 2 pieces of 1/4" sheet metal, or a 1/4" sheet and a 3/16" sheet, etc.Even though the gripping length of the rivet (the body) is 3/4", the actual capacity is less, since there has to be room left for the "expanded" body of the fastener, so a 3/4" rivet won't work well with actual 3/4" material, and you're better off to use a longer rivet.These particular rivets have an aluminum body or gripping length, with a steel mandrel (sometimes called the shaft or the pin). The aluminum body is what is left when the rivet is installed, and the shaft is discarded after it "pops" off the rivet body. I found that these rivets have a hard aluminum body, and a good bit of force is needed to deform that body during installation. I was using an inexpensive hand riveter, and if I had to install a lot of these I'd buy a pneumatic gun, or find a ratcheting hand riveter.In my pictures below, I riveted two pieces of thin sheet metal together as a test. This metal was actually overkill for a 3/4" rivet, and it took 2 or 3 "bites" of the riveter to pull the mandrel through. It did, however, give me a good solid attachment, but with an ugly lump on the blind side.My conclusion is that these are good rivets for homeowner use, and possibly more, but a good short-stroke, ratcheting, or pneumatic riveter would be useful if you have more than a handful of rivets to install. There are also drill attachments that use your battery or power drill or driver to set rivets. In addition, the black color is good for some applications, but will stick out like a sore thumb on some others, so keep that in mind when ordering.One note: I found a mandrel without a rivet body attached to it in the box. Quality control?
