Product identity

The MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 51091 is a steel blind rivet with a dome head designed for fastening where only one side of the joint is accessible. It suits maintenance, automotive and general fabrication tasks that require a permanent mechanical joint.

Installation limits

The rivet body measures 3/16 in diameter and 1/8 in length, so the grip range is fixed by those dimensions and the hole must match the shank size. A dedicated rivet tool is required to pull the mandrel and form the blind-side upset before the mandrel snaps off.

Pre-purchase checks

Confirm that the material thickness falls within the grip range implied by the 1/8 in rivet length and that a 3/16 in drill bit is available for hole preparation. Verify you have a compatible hand or pneumatic riveter, as the rivet cannot be installed without one.

Questions about this item

Which pack size should I choose for a small repair job?

The 16-count pack covers typical small repairs without leaving a large surplus of rivets.

How does the 1/8 in grip length affect the joint I can fasten?

It clamps materials whose combined thickness is approximately 1/8 in, so measure the stack before drilling.

What does the 3/16 in diameter mean for the hole I need to drill?

Drill a 3/16 in hole; the rivet body fits that size and the mandrel pulls the tail tight on the blind side.
