Rivet nut installation tool 8mm

Easy to replace screws in case one gets stripped or broken. I recommend ordering an extra screw ahead of time. Nifty little inexpensive tool, but can be a little awkward. If you do very many of these, may want to opt for the more expensive grip type. I used this on an Exhaust Pipe, a round one! This is made for a flat surface. I would recommend this for an application of RivNuts where youre only doing a few or a gun wont fit.

Easy to use, good result. Up-rated to 4 stars in consideration of the low price. This seems to be the cheapest tool to set rivet nuts, and is fine if you only have a few to install.

The top washer failed after setting the second 6 riv-nut. I replaced it, along with the larger washer under it with a fender washer with a smaller hole for better support. This reduced but didnt eliminate the problem. Also found the tool difficult to hold steady. Adding a temporary shim under the base near the bolt helped to stabilize it.

Would have been better if the base of the tool had an offset to allow for the space taken by the riv-nut head so the base sits flush on the aluminum skin. However, I would recommend it so long as you only have a few smaller size riv-nuts to install, due to the much lower cost vs.

Awesome in tight spaces! Very clever design. Kind of hard to hold, at risk of bending the piece you are inserting into. Mine broke the casting after about 30 installs. Not a tool for production work, or for anything over a 10 rivnut, But it sure is handy to have in your box! Works well IF you lube all surfaces and do not use their supplied washers.

They will deform which will cause the rivnut to be installed off square. And if youre picky like me, youll be drilling it out. Use a large area washer lube underneath under the allen and it will work properly.

The manufacturer should include better washers. Otherwise, works very nicely. Clever design, does a fine job in a tight space. The finish of the cast body leaves a bit to be desired, as its quite rough. In addition, the material is a bit too soft. After three uses, the washer dug into the top and made the tool inoperable.

I had 8 rivet nuts to install and it eventually served me well for that I wonder how long it will last. Good idea, poor execution. The metal its made out of is extremely brittle maybe its a badly cast zinc alloy? Got about halfway up the ramp and the threaded part shattered like glass. Go ahead, buy one to support the Patent, but then find a friendly machine shop to replicate it for you in steel or hard aluminum so its actually a usable tool.

Read the overall reviews and thought this would be a good light duty tool for dealing with sheetmetal work. Going to take it to the local machine shop and see if they can mill one out in steel versus porous pot-metal.

Buy it to support the patent, then heigh yourself down to your friendly neighborhood machinist to get a real tool made. I had to set one rivnut. It worked for that. Step 4 —The second material is set into place and a screw or bolt completes the assembly. Product Code: Stay Connected.
