Ideal for wet and outdoor environments, these rivet nuts are made of stainless steel. Their hex-shaped body provides the highest twist resistance of any rivet nut. As you tighten screws, the flat sides hold them in place to keep them from spinning. They hold up in heavy duty applications because of their thick walls, making them some of our strongest rivet nuts. To install them, you only need access to one side of your sheet metal. The flange distributes the load and secures these nuts to the surface of your material.

Install them in a hex-shaped punched hole with a rivet nut tool. The tool collapses the nut, creating a backside flange that holds the nut to the material.

Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

18-8 stainless steel nuts stand up to mild chemicals and water.

316 stainless steel nuts have excellent corrosion resistance. They stand up to salt water and harsh chemicals.

With a durable plastic seal around a closed body, these rivet nuts add threads to sheet metal without letting water or dust pass through. They’re often used on surfaces that protect equipment, such as fuse box housings, in wet areas. They help maintain an enclosure’s IP68 rating for protection from water submersion and airborne dust. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these rivet nuts withstand mild chemicals and resist corrosion in wet and outdoor environments.

Install these rivet nuts in sheet metal and other surfaces that are too thin to be tapped. Also known as blind inserts, installation requires access to just one side of your material. The flange distributes the load and holds these nuts against the surface. They collapse during installation, creating a backside flange that secures them to your material and creates a water-tight seal.

Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Hex-body nuts are the most twist-resistant style of rivet nut. Their flat sides hold them in place, so they won’t turn as you tighten screws. Install them in a hex-shaped punched hole with a rivet nut tool.

Use these tools to install most styles of rivet nuts. A wrench and ratchet are required to hold the tool and tighten the nut.

Quickly install all styles of rivet nuts at 1.5-second intervals. The tool includes nosepiece assemblies to install M4, M5, M6, and M8 rivet nuts (additional sizes sold separately). 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.

Take our most powerful rivet nut tools anywhere you need. With the greatest pulling force and longest stroke of any we offer, they secure rivet nuts in place even in thick and hard material. The tools include nosepiece assemblies to install M4, M5, M6, and M8 rivet nuts (additional mandrels and nosepieces sold separately). They run on the DeWalt rechargeable battery that's already in your toolkit. As you swap between tasks, use the touch screen to set the exact force and stroke length you need to get the job done. These tools also keep count of how many rivet nuts you install, helping you keep track of high-volume work as you go. The cushioned grip minimizes fatigue for comfortable, repeated use, and the LED light illuminates dim areas and dark surfaces.

These tools have two primary settings: pull-to-stroke and pull-to-force. With the pull-to-stroke setting, you set the stroke depth based on the thickness of your material. This works best when installing a high volume of rivet nuts into the same thickness of material. With the pull-to-force setting, you set the pull force regardless of material thickness. Use this setting when installing rivet nuts in a variety of material thicknesses.

Thread your rivet nut onto the included mandrel and press the trigger to spin it on. To install it, place the nut into the material and press once again. Spin the mandrel off by pressing one more time.
