Its a rivet.

average

I need an inch long 3/16" pop rivet, and my local hardware stores did not sell them. After frustration with buying local, I found these on Amazon. I wasn't picky about whether they were aluminum or steel core, etc. I was using them to rivet handles into a wooden box. They worked great. Ordering again!

worked good

they work very well, hold tight and snap like they should.

The center pin is steel. I tried very hard to get ALL aluminum, reading all the specifications and reviews of many pop rivets. I'm building a specialized product that Has very strong magnetic fields and I must have no ferric (iron) material. ALSO, there is an electro-mechanical/chemistry fact called "Dissimilar Metals" (a.k.a. Galvanic Corrosion.) Two different kinds of metals in contact in a wet environment (such as boats) causes one of those metals to corrode. When steel and aluminum are together, the aluminum will corrode away much more quickly than aluminum alone.

Finally, a 3/4" grip rivet that is actually 3/4" Hallelujah!

THESE ARE NOT ALL ALUMINUM. THE MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT ACCURATE. The mandrel is steel, which is obviously not ideal if you're using them to repair an aluminum fishing boat floor. They are apparently measured from the head to the end of the mandrel, not the grip length. The 3/4" rivets are closer to 1/2" and were significantly shorter than the 5/8" ones I bought from the local Ace Hardware. I don't leave reviews, but these pissed me off.
