[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 60417, member: 55"] Not a bad little deal. For rivets holding up structure, 3/16 diameter is the way to go. Then 5/32 for holding decking down, as in that instance, the rivet isn't under much load. Choose the correct grip length for whatever material you are riveting. Home Depot has at least 1/4 and 1/2 inch grip length, which between the two, is a wide enough variation to do almost anything you will want to do with them. For a bilge pump, just get whatever you find on sale. I haven't found one to be better than the other, and really a 250 gallon per hour would be just fine for you. [/QUOTE]
