Steel Low-Profile Rivet Nuts
These steel low-profile rivet nuts are about twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts. They have a low profile for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. A cadmium or tin-zinc plating provides corrosion resistance and adds lubricity so they collapse smoothly. The threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve when installed, creating pressure against the hole to secure the nut. Drill bit size listed in the table is for material with a 0.030"-0.090" thickness. These rivet nuts may be installed in thicker material, but may require larger holes. Install them using a hand- or power-driven rivet nut tool. Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Wrench-Driven Rivet Nut Tools
Use these tools to install most styles of rivet nuts. A wrench and ratchet are required to hold the tool and tighten the nut.

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.
