Wrench-Driven Rivet Nut Tools

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

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.

Hydraulic/Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools

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.

Hand-Driven Tools for Low-Profile Rivet Nuts

Turn these tools by hand to install low-profile rivet nuts. The required mandrels are sold separately. To use, thread the nut onto a mandrel of the same size, then place it into a hole, push down on the tool's T-handle, and turn clockwise.

Pull Force Calibrators for Rivet Nut Tools

Calibrator with Anvil and Mandrel Assembly (Sold Separately)

Avoid failed rivet nuts by periodically testing the pull force of your rivet nut tool. These calibrators work with air-powered and hydraulic/air-powered rivet nut tools. They display force measurements on two digital touch screens. The left screen shows a graph and read-out of current pulling force, while the right screen shows the results of the last seven tests. Track performance to plan maintenance—they store test data on the included microSD card.

An anvil and mandrel assembly (sold separately) is required. Choose a thread size that matches your tool. Thread the anvil and mandrel assembly onto the calibrator to begin testing.
