“If you need to clamp to pieces of metal together permanently.”
If you need to clamp to pieces of metal together permanently use Craftsman aluminum or steel rivets. On my latest project I choose to use rivets instead of bolts, which allowed me to complete the project without fumbling with nuts and split washers. Measure the thickness of your metal clamped together to get the correct lenght of rivet. I picked up some rivet washers, too.
