Industrial pins are cylindrical fasteners that are used to locate, align and join components. They are made out of aluminum, brass, titanium, wood and plastic.

Nails are available in a variety of shapes and sizes for specific uses. Common nail types include: brad nails, cap nails, common nails, double-headed nails, finishing nails, masonry nails, roofing nails and screws.
Rivets are headed pins with a point that passes through two pieces of material. Beating or pressing down the point causes it to spread out and form a second head. Rivets can be used to connect two plates or pieces of material together.
