Rivets are available in steel and aluminum, in three diameters and in three grip ranges. Steel rivets are much stronger than aluminum, use steel rivets for very heavy duty jobs and when riveting steel to steel. Use aluminum rivets for lighter weight jobs and materials such as aluminum, fabrics, plastics, leather, etc. Determine rivet diameter by strength needed for job, determine rivet grip range by thickness of materials being fastened. Use washers when joining soft materials or when existing hole is oversize.
