==Blind rivets==
Most rivets used for DIY are [http://www.mingrong.com.tw/blind-
ribet.htm blind rivets]. These rivets are set with a riveter. Access
is only needed to one side of the hole.


Riveter types
* plier type, most common, squeeze the handles
* lazy tongue, push/pull action


* * * * ~~~~~~

tongs !


I've not seen those used with blind rivets. How do they work?

Lazy tongs, not lazy tongues...
