I believe there was a previous post about the type and name of rivets that are hammered into blind holes but I cannot find it now so here is the question again.
What is the name of those serrated rivets that can be hammered into a blind hole to make a fixing? Often used for labels I believe.
I need some 3/32" round head of this type about 1/4" in length and I am having difficulty in sourcing them. Only need about 50.
Anyone have the answers please?

No, Pennfast have nothing like it on their web site.

I think they are called "drive screws" but what do I know? Brian
Found names like "self tapping" and "tap" rivets but no supplier found yet. have found an E-bay listing for some small packets of 6 for holding on name badges but do not know the sizes , so have asked a question.

Ordinary pop rivets in a slightly oversized hole will also suffice.
Brian Lambert is correct they are called drive screws.
I have found a few here. The box has CKN logo Description Hammer Drive Screws Round Head. Size No 6 x 3/4

They measure 3.5 mm across the spiral. 2.9mm on the small diameter below spiral. Length is 3/8
