   Die cast cars arent really riveted – the top has a pin molded to it and the base has a hole and the pin sticks through the base and they peen over the pin to make it bigger. Same theory as a rivet but one side is part of the top casting.

   It doesnt cut the shank, you get to the breaking point of a groove in the shank and it snaps off making a loud noise, hence the brand name of “Pop” rivets for the loud pop it makes when it breaks. Note you should use the same metal as the metal you are joining unless they are insulated with paint or you get galvanic action from dissimilar metals – steel rivet to join aluminum then water between starts the same effect as a battery and corrodes the metals by electrical action

   Thanks for the demo. This takes the place of some welding duties for light duty fastening.
