Plier-Style Rivet Nut Tools

Install smooth body rivet nuts with one hand. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut. The tool includes mandrels and nosepieces to install 8-32, 10-24, and 10-32 sizes of rivet nuts (additional sizes sold separately). Sizes 5/16"-18, 3/8"-16, and M8 require only a mandrel for installation, all other sizes require both a nosepiece and a mandrel.

Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools

Smaller and lighter than cordless and hydraulic rivet nut tools, use these to install thin-walled bulbed, ribbed, sleeve, and smooth rivet nuts. To use, thread the nut onto the included mandrel and press the trigger to spin the nut onto the tool. Place the nut into the material and press the trigger to install the nut. Press the trigger one more time to spin the mandrel off.

Lever-Style Rivet Nut Tools with Visual Stroke Indicator

An indicator allows you to ensure your rivet nut installs correctly. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut. Mandrel and nosepiece sets are required and sold separately.

Tools with knob install rivet-type studs and smooth and ribbed body rivet nuts. They have a spin-to-reverse knob to quickly unthread the mandrel from the installed nut.

Tools with plunger install smooth and ribbed body rivet nuts. They have a quick-acting, pull-to-remove plunger that unthreads the mandrel from the installed nut.

Tools for Blind Rivets and Rivet Nuts

This tool has changeable nosepieces, anvils, and pull-up studs for installing rivets and rivet nuts. A self-contained hydraulic system delivers additional force to make installation easier. Choose the attachment that matches your rivet's diameter or nut thread size. To install a rivet, insert the mandrel into the nosepiece of the tool. Place the rivet in the material and squeeze the handles. The tool pulls the mandrel through the rivet's body, creating a secure hold on both sides of the material, and breaks off the excess mandrel.

Pull-up studs and driving anvils for 6-32 to 3/8"-16 and M3 to M10 rivet nuts are sold separately.

Rivet Nut Assortments

These rivet nuts have a smooth body and fit in smaller holes than twist-resistant rivet nuts. Assortments include rivet nuts, mandrels, nosepieces, and a plier-style installation tool. To install, thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.

Aluminum rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts and resist corrosion in wet environments.

Zinc-plated steel rivet nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
