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.

Lever-Style Rivet Nut Tools

Use two hands to maximize leverage when installing smooth body rivet nuts. These tools include a mandrel and nosepiece for 1/4"-20 size nuts (additional sizes sold separately). A mandrel and nosepiece are required for installation. To use, thread the nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.

They are also compatible with rivet-type studs.

Tools with knob have a spin-to-reverse knob to quickly unthread the mandrel from the installed nut.

Tools with plunger have a quick-acting, pull-to-remove plunger that unthreads the mandrel from the installed nut.

Plier-Style Rivet Nut Tools

Install smooth body 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. The tool includes mandrels and nosepieces to install 8-32, 10-24, and 10-32 sizes of rivet nuts (additional sizes sold separately). Sizes 5/16"-18, 3/8"-16, and M8 require only a mandrel for installation, all other sizes require both a nosepiece and a mandrel.
