Review on Arrow Fastener RLA5 32IP Aluminum by Justin Metz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality rivets for fastening aluminum

Many rivets installed. It's garbage. I bought 20 packs. I opened the 1st package, the first three rivets left the hairpin. I opened the next package and thought the first one was defective, out of 10 rivets, 6 remained on the bobby pin and wouldn't pull out clean. Changed rivet guns three times. Went to the hardware store to buy an Arrow rivet gun, same problem. I missed the return window for the 16 or so unopened packages I have. they are garbage. Don't buy them. Money down the drain and had to drill and redo a few rivets. Finally a week ago I received a huge wholesale batch of Stanley rivets, about 1000 installed, had 2 rivets out of 1000. Take the original and you will be happy.

Pros
  • Blind rivets
Cons
  • weak
