Rivets
Mechanics, builders, and technology producers have invented many different kinds of fasteners since the human race first started putting things together. Some have been used for hundreds of years, like the bolt. Others have been used for thousands, in one form or another. The Ancient Egyptians developed the first rivets about 5000 years ago. Subsequent developments led to the extremely powerful metal rivets we know and use in the modern day.
Despite the many changes that have shaped and reshaped their design, all modern rivets follow the same principle as their ancient forebears. When driven into a hole, either by hand or with a rivet gun, the tail end is flattened or broken. This prevents the rivet from falling out of the hole by mistake. A lot of hard work is required to pry it loose, ensuring that each one has a long life and significant strength.
Metal rivets are extremely useful in the construction of vehicles, including cars. In the event that a car ever does need that type of maintenance, auto shops can find hundreds of distinct products here at Boltman.
