Metal Tag Fastner
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. TIA |

The recess in screw heads would make it hard to de-mold and may also tear away some of the face, since there is very little re-inforcement in that area, due to corrosion resistance which only comes from the resin.

If you type in "drive screws " these units come up, but they are under the nail section as " easy drive nails " . Confusin, ain't it. |

Quite inexpensive for a box of 1000 in the sizes which I got.
