Multitrade supplies different types of drill bits, which include the basic types used for wood, metal and masonry. Two main types of wood drill bits are available. Both are characterized by the small point at the tip of the bit. They will cut clean, straight holes. They are suitable for all types of wood and come in a wide range of sizes and lengths. The basic drill bits for metal work have a straight shank. They are supplied in either short or long series, are right hand rolled forged, and steam tempered. Ground drill bits are of a higher quality. They have a silvery color, sharp edges and a tip which will easily cut through most metals, including stainless steel. Masonry bits, sometimes known as 'durium' bits, are used on stone and on tiles. Besides the standard lengths, others are long enough to drill right through Maltese limestone bricks. High quality German drill bits, which can cut through extremely hard tiles and last much longer than others, have recently been introduced. -

Thin sheets of metal, plastic, or other materials can be clamped together from one side, by means of blind rivets, better known as pop rivets. A tubular rivet is inserted in a hole which is drilled onto two sheets. It is then clinched by withdrawing a nail found inside the rivet. These fasteners are installed with a manual, pneumatic or electric rivet gun, to connect metal and other pieces together. These rivets are common in use both in industry, and by the DIY. Their head is made of aluminium, and they have a steel nail. Since they do not have any uncommon features, they can be found in many lengths, and diameters, and tend to be rather economical. Multitrade ensures that such rivets are regularly held in stock.
