There is a lot of difference between the "standard" Pop rivets and the Avex. I just use Avex. But Spanaur (an industrial distributor)
show "standard Pop" but also "multi-grip" Pop rivets. Very simular to Avex and very different of Standard Pop...

you will see the mandrel just pulls down inside the barrel, expanding it. If you pull an Avex you will see the barrel shortens first, expandsJean,
They are similar to women. Just because one may look like another you can bet they don't function the same. If you pull a pop rivet by itself
slightly and only then does the mandrel pull down inside the barrel. Pull a mandrel from each and you will see the pop mandrel is like a finishing
nail while the avex has a flat underside (like a mushroom). That is why the Avex shortens first and the pop doesn't.
rivets are fine for building Porta Potties (take a look next time) but please use Avex for airplanes.The advantage is that the Avex expands to completely fill that carefully drilled hole and tends to pull the sheets tighter, the pop doesn't Pop
