Blind Rivets: Mega-Grip Structural Blind Rivets
Steel Rivet / Steel Mandrel
The GESIPA Mega-Grip is a high strength structural blind rivet offering several advantages over conventional blind rivets.
Mega-Grip’s wide grip range enables a single Mega-Grip to replace up to five different lengths of standard rivets. High
shear strength is achieved by Mega-Grip’s flush break self plugging mandrel. Mega-Grip rivets are hole-filling, resulting in
tighter joints and improved sealing for weather tightness. Mega-Grip rivets are installed via standard rivet tools and do
not require special nose tips.
