They are used for making threads in things like sheet metal. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Gallik To: Blind Handyman Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 2:32 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Pop Rivets Question I have somebody who asked me about what a rivet tool was and what it's uses are. I'd like to explain a pop rivet to her, but I'm not sure the best terminology. Can anybody tell me what the correct term is for the shank on a pop rivet? Also, would the "flange" or rim of the pop rivet correctly be called the shoulder? And now, I also have these goofy rivets that have no shank. The rivet tool these came with have a threaded shank that is inserted into the rivet tool before the head is attached. Then the rivet itself threads onto this shank after the head is threaded onto the rivet tool itself. Of course, the rivet rim or shoulder goes onto this threaded shank first and the bottom of the rivet body threads on to the exposed end of this "threaded shank." Can anybody tell me the correct name of this type of rivet? Thanks! And guys, remember, I'm trying to make a good impression with this gal so no foolishness about shanks and bulges, etc!
