They look like the solid rivets I use to hold on brake linings. Can either be hammer set, or if doing a bunch of them, use an enerpac "c" clamp

Hey we are getting warm here....... another hint: the package has one hundred parts but only 50 _ _ _ _ _ _.

They look like rivets that are used for fastening handles on knives.

actualy one half of the rivet is pressed into the other half that looks the same except it has a hole in it.

this is why there are really 50 compleat units.

Very good job by both of you! How ever delroys33 answer was a bit more correct and he is the winner!

These rivets are really cool to use and very easy to use... the ones shown are for materials in the 5/8" to 1" range but they can be sized down or you can purchase other sizes. They are made of brass and run about $8.50 US for the bag of 50.

thanks Ed, I never had any "complete" catalogs from LeeValley and never gave it a thought.
