Blind rivets, pop rivets, POP® rivets—what’s the difference? In the Whether you’re working on automobiles, appliances, HVAC systems, overhead doors, or lighting, here are a few things you need to know about these rivets. What is a Blind Rivet? A revolutionary fastener, the blind rivet is so named because it can be installed when you don’t have access to—or can’t see—the back side of the item being riveted. Prior to the invention of the Comprised of a rivet and an integrated mandrel, Blind rivets are usually categorized by the material of the rivet and then the material of the mandrel. For example, you might see “aluminum/steel”, which means an aluminum rivet with a steel mandrel. These fasteners typically come in steel, stainless steel, nickel-copper alloy, and other grades of aluminum. When looking for blind rivets, we recommend always trying to match the rivet and mandrel materials to avoid corrosion and weakening in the rivet (e.g., stainless steel/stainless steel construction).

Screws are everywhere. They hold your life, and your furniture, together. Screws come in all different shapes and sizes but chances are you're probably only familiar with a few of them. There's Phillips and flathead, and—if you're from Canada—the square Robertson screw as well. But that is only the tip of the screwy iceberg. Here is a brief tour of some of the more exotic ones. The Mortorq screw was built by the Phillips Screw Company, and there is a resemblance between it and the company's signature screw. The main advantage the Mortorq screw offers is, as the name implies, more torque. Specifically, the wide wings of the screw make for thicker and stronger drill bits, and the increased contact area means more force is applied to the screw. Essentially, this is a heavy-duty Phillips screw, commonly used in automotive and aerospace work. You may have some pentalobe screws lying around if you own an Apple device. Pentalobe screws were first implemented by Apple in 2009 on its Macbook Pro battery cases. Since then, they've been implemented externally on several Macbook models, and on every iPhone since the iPhone 4. The primary purpose of pentalobe screws is essentially just to be obscure, so you won't automatically have the right screwdriver to fit them. It's a move to curb tampering and fiddling with Apple's characteristically closed devices. Although, now that Apple puts them on everything pentalobe screwdrivers are pretty easy to find. One-way screws come in all kinds of...
