Blind rivets, a.k.a.

break stem rivets, are tubular fasteners with a mandrel through the
center. Blind rivets are inserted into drilled holes in the parts to be joined, and a special tool is
used to draw the mandrel through the body of the rivet. The blind end expands, and the mandrel
is snapped off.

Gang-Nail connector is a steel plate with a collection of spikes or nails projecting from one face
(See diagram). The spikes, or teeth, are formed by punching slots in steel but leaving one end
of the 'plug' connected to the sheet. The teeth are then formed so they project at right angles to
the plate.
