Construction fasteners are a type of hardware used to join two or more objects together. RIVETS are one of the most common types of construction fasteners, consisting of a cylindrical shaft with a head on one end and a tail on the other. The tail is inserted into a hole in the material being joined, and the head is then hammered or pressed to secure the joint. RIVETS are often used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, and other structures where strength and durability are important.
