Does anyone know the proper name for the rivet ( pin ) type , round head
fastners with spiral shank, that are used to attach metal plates to
equipment ? You drill a blind hole and drive them in.

I need to purchase some, but cannot find them, due to not knowing what
name to look for.

Search on drive screws. These may be what you are looking for. Or
not.

type.


"drive screws" over at hanson fastners. I'll have to remember both
names...
