FAQs
What material are these rivets made from?
These Magnusson rivets are made from aluminum.
How many rivets are in this pack?
This pack contains 50 blind rivets.
What size are these rivets?
The rivets are 4mm in diameter and 10mm in length.
Do I need a special tool to install these rivets?
Yes, you will need a blind rivet gun (riveter) to install these rivets.
Can these rivets be used on outdoor projects?
Yes, the aluminum construction provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications.
What is the primary advantage of using blind rivets?
Blind rivets are ideal for joining materials when you only have access to one side of the workpiece.
Are these rivets suitable for heavy-duty structural applications?
While durable, aluminum rivets are best suited for light to medium-duty applications. For extremely high-stress or structural loads, steel rivets might be a more appropriate choice.
Troubleshooting
Rivet gun not snapping mandrel
Check if the rivet gun is properly seated on the rivet. Ensure the rivet gun's jaws are clean and functional. Verify the rivet size is compatible with your rivet gun settings.
Rivet not holding securely
Confirm the material thickness is within the specified grip range of the rivet. Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size for the rivet. Check for obstructions in the hole.
Mandrel breaks prematurely
This may indicate an issue with the rivet quality or the rivet gun's setting. Try a different rivet from the pack or check your rivet gun's tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible blind rivet gun (riveter).
- Select the appropriate drill bit size for the rivet body.
- Drill a hole through the materials you wish to join, ensuring the hole size matches the rivet's recommended diameter.
- Insert the rivet into the hole.
- Place the nose of the rivet gun onto the rivet mandrel.
- Squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun repeatedly until the mandrel snaps off, securing the rivet.
Compatibility:
These rivets are compatible with most standard blind rivet guns. The 4mm diameter and 10mm length are designed for joining materials with a combined thickness within the rivet's grip range (typically specified by the rivet manufacturer, consult packaging for exact range).
Care:
Store rivets in a dry environment to prevent oxidation. Clean any excess debris from around installed rivets as needed. No active maintenance is required for the rivets themselves once installed.
