Pop Rivet - 1/8" x 1/8" Steel
$6.99
Product details
This is a steel pop rivet sized 1/8 inch by 1/8 inch, a general shop-supply item used in vacuum repair and other light sheet-metal work, part BBBS42.
A blind rivet like this sets from one side, which makes it the practical fastener when the back of a panel or housing is not reachable. The short 1/8-inch grip length suits thin material such as plastic housings, brackets, and light-gauge sheet metal rather than thick stacks. Using a rivet with too long a grip for the material leaves it loose, while too short a grip can keep it from setting properly at all.
Rivets are consumable hardware that any repair bench runs through steadily, so keeping common sizes on hand turns a broken tab or a stripped screw boss into an immediate fix rather than a delay waiting on parts.
- Size: 1/8 inch diameter, 1/8 inch grip
- Material: Steel
- Part: BBBS42
- Tool needed: Standard hand or pneumatic rivet gun
Keep a few on hand for repair work, since a rivet is used up the moment it is set and cannot be reused.
