    Ideal for parts that require frequent maintenance or disassembly, these rivet nuts won't spin out when you tighten or loosen a screw. Their ribbed body digs into material to prevent twisting.
    Install these nuts in a drilled or punched round hole using a rivet nut tool. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, then grip the tool body with a wrench as you twist the tightening nut with a ratchet. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for fast installation or to easily switch between many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    Add threads to sheet metal and other thin surfaces inaccessible from behind. When installed, the body of these nuts collapses onto the back side of material to form a flange that holds the nut in place. Less expensive than press-fit nuts, they also avoid the spatter mess of weld nuts. They're often used in control box panels and electronic housings, as well as for quick repairs to assembled parts.
    Install these nuts in a drilled or punched round hole using a rivet nut tool. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, then grip the tool body with a wrench as you twist the tightening nut with a ratchet. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for fast installation or to easily switch between many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.

    Shield threads from moisture, vibration, and accidental electrical contact. The neoprene rubber coating on these brass nuts seals out water in marine and other wet environments. It also insulates against moving parts, such as shaky motors, that could cause excessive noise or damage fragile panels. The nut collapses as you thread in a screw, so you don't need any special installation tools. Also known as well nuts.

    Add threads to sheet metal and panels in confined spaces with limited backside clearance. At installation, these compact nuts collapse into themselves and press slightly outward, creating snug-fitting threads half the length of a standard nut but just as strong. With a thin top flange that creates a near-flush fit, they're ideal for light duty fastening in small enclosures or housings.
    Install these nuts using a hand- or power-driven rivet nut tool. In thick material, drill or punch a slightly larger hole to ensure the nut body expands uniformly.
    Tin Zinc-Plated Steel—Twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts. The plating resists rust and helps the nut collapse without friction during installation. It's also nontoxic, unlike cadmium plating.

    Install blind rivets and rivet nuts with the same tool. These sets come with the nosepieces and mandrels needed to install the most common sizes of blind rivets and rivet nuts. Additional mandrels and nosepieces are sold separately. Choose the attachment that matches your rivet 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 body to tighten it on both sides of the material, then breaks off the excess mandrel. To install a rivet nut, thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.

    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.

    Add threads to thin panels while keeping a flush surface. The angled head on these nuts sits evenly within your panel so nothing catches or juts out. They're ideal when space is tight around fasteners in machinery and equipment, or when appearance matters.
    Install these nuts in a drilled or punched countersunk round hole using a rivet nut tool. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for fast installation or to easily switch between many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.

    Tight-Space Rivet Nut Assortments with Installation Tools

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rivet Nuts. Tight-Space Rivet Nut Assortments with Installation Tools.
    Keep different sizes of rivet nuts on hand to add threads to material in confined spaces. At installation, the compact body of these nuts collapses into itself and presses slightly outward, creating snug-fitting threads that are half the length of a standard nut but just as strong.
    To install, thread the nut onto the mandrel, place it into a hole, push down, and turn the installation tool's T-handle.
    Tin Zinc-Plated Steel—Twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts. The plating resists rust and helps the nut collapse without friction during installation. It's also nontoxic, unlike cadmium plating.

    Grip soft material tightly. The ribbed body and wedges dig into aluminum and composite panels so nuts won't spin out when tightening and loosening screws. However, the wedges won't penetrate harder metals like steel.
    Install these nuts in a drilled or punched round hole using a rivet nut tool. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for faster installation or to install many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.
    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.

    Create threads in hard-to-work areas—where you can’t reach the back of a workpiece, or material is too thin to be tapped. For a strong grip, these rivet-mount nuts have distorted threads that increase friction with bolts. Because they mount with two rivets, they won’t spin when you’re tightening screws. However, these nuts do move inside their retainers, which lets you install bolts at a slight angle; use them to align with off-center parts. All meet military guidelines for dimensions and material.
    A286 Stainless Steel—A286 stainless steel nuts are corrosion resistant.
    Cadmium-Plated Carbon Steel and Cadmium-Plated Steel—Cadmium-plated nuts resist corrosion in industrial and saltwater environments, although will lose their corrosion resistance over 450° F. The cadmium plating also adds lubricity, making these nuts easy to install.
    Silver-Plated A286 Stainless Steel—Silver-plated stainless steel nuts withstand temperatures up to 800° F. The silver plating also adds lubricity and prevents seizing caused by friction between nuts and bolts.
    Lubricated—Lubricated nuts thread onto bolts smoothly.

    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.

    These rivet nuts install with the twist of a screw and seal out moisture. Their narrow legs collapse into a flange that holds the nut in place without crushing your material. The PVC-coated flange prevents water and other liquids from seeping through holes and corroding threads or damaging internal components. Use a power-driven rivet nut tool for fast installation. Also known as jack nuts.

    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.
