Re: [VACList] CherryMax rivets - not that hard to use now

Mind if I chime in?

> Do you pull the Olympic rivets with a normal pop rivet gun?

Ans:  Yep

> But as you've indicated by your statement the Olympic rivets can't be very
strong either compared to the CherryMax type.

Values in pounds for a RV 6607-5-5

Shear = 465
Tensile = 245
Clamp-up = 80

So they should be adaquate for most applications on a trailer, don't you
think.

Also, the last I bought in January were 26.2 cents per rivet delivered to my
house (box of 100)
