Fast & Reliable Fastening with Hammer Drive Pin Rivets

Our Drive Rivets provide a high-strength, permanent fastening solution that is incredibly easy to install. The hammer drive pin design eliminates the need for expensive pneumatic tools, making it the perfect choice for on-site construction and maintenance. When the pin is struck, it expands the slotted rivet body behind the material, creating a secure grip that resists vibration and tampering.

We specialize in Aluminum Drive Rivets, which are widely used in the transportation and signage industries for their lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties.

Advantages of Drive Rivets

  • Instant Installation: Sets in seconds with just a hammer strike—no training or specialized tools required.
  • Blind Side Fastening: Perfect for applications where you cannot reach the back of the workpiece.
  • Vibration Resistant: Once expanded, the rivet body creates a tight, permanent seal that won’t loosen.
  • Tamper-Proof: The pin sits flush or recessed after installation, making it difficult to remove without drilling.
