Jim;
Cherry Q rivets are a far better choice than an ordinary hardware store pop
rivet; their mandrel retention makes them stronger and more reliable. They
are a step below MIL-SPEC ones like CherryLock-- they look comparable to
AVEX rivets. I'd use them where they were applicable.
I wrote my "rant" because there is a lot of misinformation floating around
about blind rivets. I hope this may help clear up some confusion.
Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
