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.

Plier-Style Rivet Nut Tools

Install rivet nuts with one hand. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.

Style B tools include everything you need to install rivet nuts in three common sizes. To install other sizes, you’ll need to add a mandrel or a mandrel and nosepiece set.

Lever-Style Rivet Nut Tools

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 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. To install rivet nuts in other sizes, you'll need to use a mandrel and nosepiece set. To install rivet studs, you’ll need a nosepiece.

Tools with knob removal have a spin-to-reverse knob to quickly unthread the mandrel from the installed nut. Tools with plunger removal have a quick-acting, pull-to-remove plunger that unthreads the mandrel from the installed nut.
