How is a rivet named?

A blind rivet nuts consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end, with the end opposite the head usually called the buck-tail. This is because when it is installed in a drilled hole, the tail is bucked or deformed, meaning it expands about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter and securing that place. This end that has been deformed is referred to as the shop head, while the original head is referred to as the factory head.
