Aluminum Drive/Smash Rivets are available in 2000 or 5000 per box,it can be used in nearly any material—wood, metal, plastic, etc.—and, other than a hammer, require no special tooling for installation; a backing block may be needed in some cases, depending on the material and application. It should be noted that, in general, drive rivets provide less clamping force than most other rivet styles.
