What is the difference between a rivet and a blind rivet?
Blind rivets, a.k.a. break stem rivets, are tubular fasteners with a mandrel through the center. The blind end expands, and the mandrel is snapped off. Unlike solid rivets, blind rivets can be installed in joints from only one side of the part—making them “blind” to the opposite side.
