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.

Light Duty Plier-Style Rivet Nut Tools

Install screw-to-install rivet nuts and rivet nuts for plastic and composites. Thread the rivet nut onto the pull rod (required, sold separately), insert the nut into the hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut. Friction wrenches designed to hold the nut head during installation are also available and sold separately.

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.

Battery-Powered Rivet Nut Tools

Install any size rivet nuts in tight spaces or out in the field—no air hose or cord required. They 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 allow you to set either pull force or stroke depth—whichever best suits your application. Set pull force to install rivet nuts in materials of varying thickness without having to adjust the tool. Set stroke depth to prevent warping and cracking when installing rivet nuts in fragile or soft materials.
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.

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.
