Drive Rivets

Drive Rivets are a style of rivet that is installed by placing the rivet body into a panel hole and pushing the pre-assembled plunger downwards into the assembly. The rivet expands in the application, providing a secure and tight fit. They can also be installed using a Push Rivet Installation Tool for faster installation, which is available to buy elsewhere.

Drive Rivets provide a fast, economical and permanent joining solution. These rivets provide solid connections by means of blind side fixing. Our product range offers good electrical insulation properties, as well as resistance to vibration, abrasion and corrosion.

Available in a variety of sizes and a choice of materials, including; Nylon 6/6 and Polyethylene (PE).
