What size drill bit for the 1/8 inch in pop rivits?

I 've seen the info for the Olympics but not the pop rivits.

Well, it seems likely that 1/8 inch generic...

...pop rivets would work well with a 1/8 inch drill bit. But I'm sure you had that figured out before I said it.

Andy points out that the Olympic pop rivets need a #30 drill to work properly, as the #30 is a 3/16 of a milli-scoch larger than 1/8".


Or maybe I didn't understand the question...

You did understand the question. I wasn't sure it was supposed to be an 1/8" or not. Seemed obvious but I didn't want to mess it up. Thanks.

You know, I'd just get the pop rivets and ...

...check with your drill bit selection.
