    Use two hands to maximize leverage when installing rivet nuts. These tools require a mandrel and nosepiece. To use, thread the nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.
    High Leverage—High-leverage tools are about 50% longer than standard tools, giving you extra power for installing rivet nuts. They’re also compatible with rivet studs. Adjust the stroke length to match the size of your rivet nut and workpiece. Unlike tools with a fixed stroke length, you don’t need to manually control the amount of force. You can squeeze the handles all the way shut to install the rivet nut without damaging the rivet or deforming your material. These tools include a mandrel and nosepiece for 1/4"-20 rivet nuts.
    Knob Removal—Tools with knob removal have a spin-to-reverse knob to quickly unthread the mandrel from the installed nut.
    Plunger Removal—Tools with plunger removal have a quick-acting, pull-to-remove plunger that unthreads the mandrel from the installed nut.

    Pistol Grip

    Angle Grip

    Use compressed air to install rivet nuts with less effort than manual tools. Tailored to specific thread sizes, these tools rotate a rivet nut with the exact force needed to collapse it onto your workpiece. They’re smaller and lighter than other powered rivet nut tools, so you can squeeze them into tighter spaces. However, they generate less force, so they’re not recommended for installing nuts into thick materials.
    Angle Grip—Angle grip tools fit into tighter spaces than pistol grip tools.

    Rivet Nut Assortments with Installation Tools

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rivet Nuts. Rivet Nut Assortments with Installation Tools.
    Keep various rivet nuts and their installation tools on hand for everyday repairs.
    To install, first thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel. Then, insert the nut into a drilled hole and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    Lightweight Aluminum—At one-third the weight of steel or brass, use these nuts in applications with strict weight limits, such as robotics and aerospace parts. They resist rust almost as well as stainless steel but aren't as strong.

    Nosepieces

    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 touchscreen 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 pulling force or stroke depth—whichever best suits your application. Set pulling 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.

    Removal

    Confirm rivet nuts are installed just right—the indicator on these tools ensures you’ve applied the right amount of force. Unlike fixed-stroke tools, you don’t need to manually control the amount of force you apply. Just set your stroke length based on your rivet nut size and workpiece thickness, then squeeze the handles all the way shut to install. The indicator verifies you’ve compressed the nut properly. These tools are 50% longer than standard lever-style tools, giving you extra leverage for installation.
    Mandrel and nosepiece sets are required and sold separately. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel and insert the nut into a drilled hole, then squeeze the handles to secure the nut.
    Knob Removal—Tools with knob removal install rivet-type studs and smooth and ribbed body rivet nuts. They have a spin-to-reverse knob to quickly unthread the mandrel from the installed nut.
    Plunger Removal—Tools with plunger removal install smooth and ribbed body rivet nuts. They have a quick-acting, pull-to-remove plunger that unthreads the mandrel from the installed nut.

    Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rivet Nut Tools. Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools.
    Install any size or style of rivet nut with a single tool. When you connect these tools to your compressed air line, the hydraulic fluid inside is pressurized, which generates the force needed to collapse a rivet nut. They’re also known as hydropneumatic rivet nut tools. Rather than rotating the rivet nut, like single-size rivet nut tools, these tools pull it straight back. This means you can adjust the pulling force or stroke depth to match your application. Set the pulling force if you’re installing rivet nuts into workpieces with different thicknesses. Set the stroke depth to install rivet nuts in soft or fragile materials without cracking or warping the surface.
    75 to 100 psi—1/4 NPT Air Connection
    7,190 lbf Pulling Force—Use tools with a 7,190 lbf. pulling force to install rivet nuts made from hard materials, such as titanium. They’re also good for large nut sizes. However, they take about three times longer to install a nut than tools with a 3,960 lbf. pulling force.

    Touch-Screen Display

    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.
