[VAL] Ken re:solid rivets vs Olympic rivets



Hi Ken,

I'm not Andy but ...

Bucked rivets are solid rivets that have had their tails "bucked".  The
solid rivet is very much stronger than any blind rivet although the Cherry
Max and Cherry-Lok rivets are extremely strong also.  Of course you'd only
use a blind fastener when you couldn't get to the tail of a solid rivet.
