Arrow RLS1/8 Long Steel Pop Rivets, 15-Pack
The Arrow RLS1/8 is a long steel blind (pop) rivet, 1/8 in. diameter with a 1/2 in. body length and a 3/16 in. grip range, built for a thicker material stack than Arrow's short (RSS1/8) steel rivet grips. The steel body gives it higher shear and tensile strength than an aluminum rivet of the same size, for steel-to-steel joins.
This is the plain 15-count retail pack. It sets with any standard hand or pneumatic rivet tool built for 1/8 in. rivets, including Arrow's own RH200S, RHT300 and RL100K.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the short steel rivet (RSS1/8)?
Same 1/8 in. diameter and steel material, but a longer 1/2 in. body and 3/16 in. grip range, for a thicker material stack than the short version's 1/8 in. grip.
What tool do I need to set these?
Any rivet tool rated for 1/8 in. diameter rivets, including Arrow's RH200S, RHT300 or RL100K hand tools.
Steel or aluminum - which do I need?
Steel for steel-to-steel joins where strength matters. Aluminum rivets are lighter and easier to set but weaker.
