Arrow 1/8" x 1/4" Medium Steel Pop Rivets (20-Pack)
Arrow's medium steel pop rivet is 1/8 in. in diameter with a 1/4 in. grip range, sized for joining two layers of sheet metal or a metal-to-metal repair up to about 1/4 in. combined thickness. This pack holds 20 rivets, sold as Arrow's own RMS1/8 rivet.
Steel rivets hold more shear and tensile load than the aluminum version of the same size, but they don't resist corrosion as well - use the aluminum RMA1/8 instead outdoors or anywhere the steel will rust before the joint fails.

- Works with any standard pop rivet tool, manual or powered
- 20 rivets per pack
