When ordering rivets how are the measured is it by head size or shank size. I need to order some as well as the rivet snap set to match.

I am still learning so bear with me

Hello Derek, rivets are ordered by shank diameter, length and head type i.e roundhead (or snap), countersunk, flat etc. and of course, material..
