Tinner Rivets

Click image to enlarge

Solid and flat-headed, tinner rivets, or tinner’s rivets, are most often used to joint thin sheet metal.

For installation, a tinner rivet is inserted from the underside of the workpiece through a pre-drilled hole, with the flat head placed on top of an anvil or similarly large, flat, sturdy surface. From there, a rivet set, a tool with a dished depression at the end that is only slightly larger than the rivet diameter, is placed on the shaft end of the rivet. The rivet set is then struck with a hammer to flatten the shaft, creating a second, round head that holds the joined materials in place.
