Surebonder FPC88S 100: High-Quality 4 Inch Steel Rivets for Secure Fastening Review

There are no problems with the rivets, but they opened on the way here and a kind of mess. At least I only ordered one pack. If I had ordered multiple boxes of different sizes, it would have been a lot more annoying.

What a purchase. About every four or five years I lift the bottom of my 15 foot aluminum War Eagle to give it a thorough cleaning and have found that rivets work best to secure the bottom to the ribs. The screws vibrate quickly. Last time I paid $15 for a box of 25 rivets here. When I saw the price I hesitated a bit as it seemed too good to be true. However the rivets were strong, didn't come loose prematurely and had a nice shiny clean dome that tightened very tight before popping. Much better

It turns out these rivets help make a much stronger L-shaped quarter round awning that wraps around adjacent front and side windows. I actually built the frame of the canopy first with EMT galvanized tubes and self-tapping screws. The connections were made by knocking out and rounding one end of the EMT section, hammering it around the iron pipe, then drilling both pieces with a 1/4 inch cobalt drill bit and joining with a rivet.
