Abstract
A method of loading a column of hollow rivets on to a mandrel for use in blind-riveting. The rivets are provided assembled head-to-tail on a strand made of resilient plastics material. The strand may be tubular or have at least a hollow end portion and be connected to the mandrel by being pushed on to a reduced end portion of the mandrel so that the strand grips the mandrel and the rivets are slid off the strand and on to the mandrel.
