There are a further 2 types of steel and aluminium rivet that are set
from just one side.
The first is called a Chobert rivet and is set with a re usable mandrel
being pulled through it and a solid pin can be hammered into it, to
retain the swolen shape.
The second type is called an Avdel rivet, which like the pop rivet comes
its own mandrel. These two types, the average DIY'er will not come into
contact with because of the specialised setting tools required.


Aswering my own post, I propose you do not add these to the wiki. As
they are a bit specialised.
