Hi Thad,
I respectfully disagree, the piece part cost of ordering 97525A490 from McMaster is significantly higher than 97525A425 (130.5% price increase to give a round number).
Additionally, the choice of rivet is 100% reliant on your use case. It's important to note these two are clearly of the same class and performance levels - with your rivet just being the "big brother" of the rivet I personally selected.
Nothing against your rivet of choice, 97525A490 is actually one of my favorites as well (shoutout to 97447A652 when I'm feeling like mixing things up!).
Disclaimer: In industry practice, don't purchase rivets off of McMaster, there are better suppliers that provide on a lower piece part cost! McMaster is mainly useful for FIRST since teams tend to order low quantity and desire short lead times.
Was nice having this conversation!
Best Regards,
RM
