A rivet works by being pushed through a hole of close diameter to the rivet and a special tool holds the central shaft with a ball at one end and pulls it through the inside of the small hollow tube, there by expanding the out side of the tube and pulling the two materials together. When the central shaft has pulled the materials together and expanded the tube the shaft reaches its limit of elasticity and snaps off. Click here for more information on Rivets.
