NYLON KEYHOLE SHANK RIVET

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed, a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite to the head is called the tail. On installation, the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place.

A schank is the long, narrow part of a tool connecting the handle to the operational end. A shank is frequently used with a faucet or dispensing control knob or handle. The unthreaded part of the shaft of a bolt is also called the shank.
