Rivnut tool - el cheapo?
I'm after a rivnut tool for my build - I anticipate no more than 100 applications - he said hopefully! I couldn't see any in Oz and there are $30 tools on USA eBay with $30 postage. I've previously purchased some good value sheetmetal tool in this price range (jogglers, etc) but I was just wondering if anyone has purchased these? Thanks
|
I purchased one from local nut and bolt shop which was a solid cast construction and it works a treat.... $80-.
I have used one which looked like it was made of folded sheet steel.... still worked...... but the cast one was much nicer to use. Just my observations. |
There's several on eBay (Aussie) for under $100 delivered. Use "nutsert" as your search term.

I bought mine in a kit-box with various nutserts and fittings, was about $120 from memory, I think it has 3,4,5,6mm fittings, got it from Cost Less Bolts. Seems good quality, some Euro/German brand.

10-15 years ago I bought cheap set from Harbor Freight. I'm still using it. The kit cam with aluminum insert. Throw those away, and use a better quality material
|
I got one for about 12 bucks from aircraft spruce. It's a manual job you use with a wrench. Other than being a little slow it works fine. I've probably installed about 75 nuts with it.
|
when we do any of those type of fasteners here, in my shop( USA) i always go for the PEM brand, if you have access to that brand, they are good quality.
|
Some of the individual size kits with 6-10 rivnuts have their own installation tool included and allow for a well installed insert and the tool is fully reusable.
