🔩 Aluminum Mandrel Rivets - Easy to Peel Orange Finish Review

Expected more from these pop studs! I think they are only suitable for very light work. Some spacer rivets broke when tightened and others broke after a short period of use. Only two plates (plastic and metal) riveted.

This worry went away as soon as I did a test run. These things hold up. I bet they hold tight enough to dent the inside of the door panel if I don't use a washer.
