Rivets

Rivets

Rivets make permanent connections in metal, canvas and plastic without welding or threading, and Tractor Supply’s fasteners inventory covers options across multiple materials and sizes. Choosing the right option upfront determines how well the connection holds over time.

Join Materials Together

Rivets work by permanently fastening two or more materials together through a simple but highly effective mechanical process. The rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole, and then the tail end is deformed using rivet tools, so it expands and holds the materials tightly in place. This creates a strong, vibration-resistant joint that won’t loosen over time, which is why this technique is commonly used in construction, automotive manufacturing and even household repairs, such as gutters, ductwork and metal panels.

We carry rivets for the needs of professionals and DIYers alike, including options for easy one-sided installation, rivets for maximum strength and specialty components for structural or high-performance applications. For a more convenient option, we offer packs that include different sizes or multiples of the same rivet. Our selection also consists of various materials, such as:

Steel and Stainless Steel Rivets

When a joint must stay put under pressure, steel is the material that delivers. It's stronger than aluminum and holds its shape on demanding jobs such as metal brackets, trailer panels and equipment repairs. Stainless steel offers the same strength with the added ability to resist rust, making it worth the step up for outdoor connections that will see regular moisture. Both options come in 1/8 in. and 3/16 in. diameters with grip lengths running from 1/8 in. to 1/2 in., covering most metal-to-metal work For Life Out Here.

Aluminum Rivets for Lighter-Duty Work

Weight matters when your base material is thin or the assembly needs to stay as light as possible. Aluminum rivets provide enough holding strength for gutters, ductwork, cabinet panels and signage without adding unnecessary load to the joint. Without the rust risk that steel carries, aluminum holds up cleanly in standard indoor and outdoor conditions. They are available in packs with diameter options across short, medium and long grip lengths.
