Review on πŸ”© Enhanced Aluminum Self Plugging Decorating Fastener: Superior Quality for Effortless Decor Projects by Brad Schaefer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It is NOT all aluminum - REASONS Corrosion

Steel center pin. I tried very hard to get ALL aluminum by reading all the specs and reviews of many rivets. I'm building a custom product with a very strong magnetic field and I shouldn't use a trivalent (ferrous) material. ALSO there is an electromechanical/chemical fact called dissimilar metals (aka galvanic corrosion). Two different types of metals coming into contact in a humid environment (e.g. in boats) will cause one of those metals to corrode. When steel and aluminum are together, aluminum corrodes much faster than aluminum alone.

Pros
  • APPLICATIONS: Widely used indoors and outdoors for splicing panels, fixing objects, etc., meets SAE J-1200 standards. Installed with a rivet gun, one-way operation, quick and convenient to use. 100 rivets per pack, enough for daily use.
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
