Rivet KS Tools 970.0150 Weight 250 g

The KS Tools 970.0150 rivet with a weight of 250 g is a fastening component intended for creating permanent, vibration-resistant joints in sheet metal, plastics and similar materials. Manufactured to consistent dimensions and material properties, this rivet is suitable for installations where a compact, low-profile blind rivet is required. Its construction ensures a stable connection that resists loosening under normal mechanical loads and environmental conditions.

Advantages

This rivet offers uniform weight and balanced dimensions for predictable setting behavior and reliable clamp. Its design provides good shear and tensile strength for light- to medium-duty fastening tasks. The compact 250 g form factor simplifies handling and placement in tight spaces, and compatibility with common blind-rivet tools makes it convenient for use in workshops and on-site repairs.

Suitable for

• Fastening thin sheet metal panels
• Joining plastic panels and composite parts
• Automotive trim and bodywork repairs
• General assembly and light structural fastening

Key specifications

• Weight: 250 g
• Type: blind rivet (single-piece)
• Intended use: permanent mechanical fastening
• Materials suited: metal sheets, plastics, composites
• Typical strength: suitable for light- to medium-duty shear and tensile loads

How to use

Prepare mating parts by aligning holes of appropriate diameter and ensuring surfaces are clean and free of debris. Insert the rivet into the hole and use a compatible blind-rivet tool to set the rivet according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Apply steady force until the mandrel snaps or the setting sequence completes, producing a formed tail that clamps the materials. Verify the joint visually and by light mechanical check to ensure the rivet head is flush and the clamping area is secure.

Recommendations

Use drill and hole-sizing charts to select correct hole diameter for this rivet, and choose a blind-rivet tool rated for the rivet’s material and grip range. Avoid over-torquing or using improvised tools that may deform the rivet. For exposure to corrosive environments, combine this rivet with compatible materials or protective coatings to maintain long-term joint integrity.
