pop rivet
One-sided metal joiner
A pop rivet is a type of fastener installed from one side of a workpiece, useful when the back side is inaccessible.
A rivet gun pulls a mandrel through the hollow rivet body, expanding it to grip the material, then snaps off the mandrel.
Also called a blind rivet.
I used pop rivets to attach the sheet metal panels.
