What is one of the uses of blind rivets?

Blind rivets are specifically designed for applications where access to both sides of the workpiece is limited or impossible. This makes them particularly useful in various structural assembly situations found in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries. The mechanism of a blind rivet allows it to be installed securely from one side, effectively joining materials together without the need for a corresponding fastener on the opposite side.

This unique capability is what differentiates blind rivets from other fastening methods, as many traditional fasteners require access to both sides of the materials being joined. The use of blind rivets ensures that structures can be assembled efficiently and safely, even in confined or hard-to-reach areas.
