Clipsandfasteners Inc Closed Rivet Aluminum Review

Closed end rivets are required for work near or below the waterline. The head prevents water from running down the rivet shank.

Nice rivets for the price but they all break on the shank before they are fully pulled out. I would take more expensive rivets.

Good rivets for the price but they all break on the shaft before they are fully extended. I would take more expensive rivets.

Bought these to patch holes in the transom of my old Lund boat. These worked great. They fit well and make it look like factory work. It looks much prettier than just plugging holes with screws or bolts.

I recently replaced a transom on my boat and bought several brands of closed end rivets like this one. These snapped into place with significantly more effort and finally burst. Almost twice as strong as another brand I've reviewed. I couldn't break them with a one handed pistol grip rivet gun, it required a heavy two handed block. This tells me it's a stronger alloy and offers significantly more clamping force than other brands. Riveting a jonbot isn't something you want to do multiple times…
