Snout and Shell Plastic Ratchet Rivets - .73 in x .41 in (18.7 mm x 10.5 mm) - Construct Coroplast Guinea Pig or Hedgehog Habitats use for C&C Cages (Pack of 200)

These are sturdy when attaching to plastic for Guinea pig enclosures. Easy snap together

I am used to having the M-F clips for my daughter's Guinea Pig cage, and I hate how fragile those things are, always popping off. So, when I got these, and saw their 3-pringed ratchet design, I thought I'd give them a try. Boy, do these work great! Not only do they hold secure, but if I need to take them apart, I can re-use them. They hold the water bottle in one place, I use them to hang chew toys, and even this goofy "hammock" that she bought, but I doubt the Pigs have any idea what to do with it. Even so, I hung it with these rivets and when I place the pigs in the hammock, it doesn't fall down. In fact, they worked so great, I had half the bag left over, and I didn't know how to use them. So, I bought some 12 X 12 picture frames, drilled holes in the middle of the backer board, and used these in pairs to mount some of my prized records in the frames. These fit the hole perfectly. So now, I keep them in my tool box, in case I need to pin up webbing, hang something on my pegboard, or anything else I can think of. What a cool idea!!

Needed 3, had to buy a pack of two dozen or so. Too expensive for what it is, but does the job - mostly - until it pops off. Should be available at a much lower quantity and price.

These fasteners have unlimited uses that are helpful around the house and garage. The clip section of each side can be easily cut to work with thinner materials. They have a clean, professionally finished look and are easy to work with. My first project was making a “kitchen” area for my guinea pigs using coroplast material (corrugated plastic often used for signage). They held the thickness of two pieces joined together perfectly. My next use was to fasten a plastic mesh grid to the intake for my aquarium to protect invertebrates and smaller fish from going through the vertical slots and perfectly matched the existing black back on my tank. I had to trim down the stems for a close fit. It’s great that their length can be customized and n that way. My husband and son have also been using them for various hobby and household projects.

These are perfect for creative projects for our hamster and guinea pig habitats. They're so simple to use. Just add cardboard, a marker, scissors, a hole punch, and a whole lot of imagination. My daughter and her friend have been crafting holiday themed decorations, hideouts, platforms, bridges, ramps, digging boxes, and sand baths out of upcycled Amazon packaging. If the little guys get the structures messy, just remove the rivets, toss the cardboard in the composting bin, then build another. Sometimes the rivets can be tough to take apart, so we use a trim removal tool to do the job without doing damage. We don't need to spend so much on our furry friends' furniture anymore. More room in the pet food and treats budget.

I am making some presents out of coroplast for the outdoor Christmas display. I had been experimenting with different ways of putting them together when I saw these. I thought I'd give them a try, and they work like a charm. If you pull them hard enough, they open back up allowing me to fold the boxes back down for storage. To use you simply drill a hole in the parts to connect and push two of these together. Each piece is the same, the second side of the connector just goes on 90 degrees from the first. I've already come up with lots of things I can use these for.

No tuve que comprar muchas piezas que probablemente desperdiciaría, con esta cantidad me sirvieron completamente.
