Pop rivets consist of two parts. The first part is called the rivet body (also known as the shell or hat) and the second part is called the mandrel (also known as the stem). Used in numerous applications to secure two or more components together. Our groundbreaking POP® rivet is easily installed with access only required from one side of the assembly.
The pop rivet was invented in Scotland shortly before World War I. In the United States, inventors such as Carl Cherry and Lou Huck experimented with other techniques for expanding solid rivets, such as the pull-through method. By drilling a hole through a rivet and expanding it with a mandrel, these fastener pioneers eventually developed a cost-effective rivet that could be installed in structures where fasteners were accessible from one side only.
