Arrow RSS1/8 Short Steel Pop Rivets, 25-Pack
The Arrow RSS1/8 is a short steel blind (pop) rivet, 1/8 in. diameter with a 1/8 in. body length, built for joining thin sheet metal where the material stack is very shallow. Its steel body gives it more shear and tensile strength than an aluminum rivet of the same size, which is why Arrow recommends it specifically for steel-to-steel work.

Diameter, length and material are as published across Arrow Tool Group's RSS-series short steel rivet line; Arrow does not publish a standalone data sheet for the 25-count retail pack specifically, so the pack quantity is confirmed against independent hardware-distributor listings for this exact catalog number rather than a manufacturer page for that pack size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Steel or aluminum rivet - which do I need?
Steel for steel-to-steel joins where strength matters, like automotive panels or steel brackets. Aluminum rivets are lighter and easier to set but weaker; use them on aluminum, plastic or softer materials.
What's the difference between "short" and "long" in the name?
The grip length. This short (RSS) version is 1/8 in., for very thin stacks. Arrow's long version (RLS1/8) grips a thicker stack up to about 3/16 in.
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.
