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.

Hydraulic/Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools
Install nearly any size or style of rivet nut in five seconds or less. Ideal for high-volume work, these tools run for as long as they have a supply of compressed air. They have two primary modes: pull-to-stroke and pull-to-force. With the pull-to-stroke mode, you set the stroke depth based on the thickness of your material. This works best when installing a large number of rivet nuts into the same thickness of material. It's also ideal for working with fragile materials. With the pull-to-force mode, you set the pull force regardless of material thickness. Use this mode when installing rivet nuts in a variety of material thicknesses.
Style A tools are faster than Style B tools, securing rivet nuts in 1.5 seconds. 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 it. Press the trigger one more time to spin the mandrel off.
Style B tools are almost twice as powerful as Style A tools, thanks to a pull force of 7,190 lbs. They’re able to install the largest rivet nut sizes we offer and work on tough materials, such as titanium. These tools only require you to press the trigger once per nut. Thread the nut onto the included mandrel, then insert the rivet nut into the material. When you pull and hold the trigger, the tool installs the nut and then automatically reverses out.

Pull Force Calibrators for Rivet Nut Tools
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.
