A device known as a pop, or blind riveter will install and set rivets without the use of a tool to support the work.... Each rivet has a pin, or mandrel, which is automatically broken off, removed, and discarded after the rivet has been set. The stem of the rivet is inserted in the tool and placed through the hole. As the tool is squeezed, the mandrel draws the concealed end of the rivet back, expands it to completely fill the hole, then breaks off as soon as the head is formed. 3, record 4, English, - pop%20rivet%20tool
