ABSTRACT:
An elongated break-away rivet includes a main body and a tapered extension joined along a break-away plane. The elongated rivet minimizes rivet tumble along a delivery path which terminates at a work piece. At the end of the path, a tool impacts against the extension thereby causing it to break away and leaving a finished rivet of length appropriate for the work piece.
