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.

Lever-Style Rivet Nut Tools with Visual Stroke Indicator
An indicator allows you to ensure your rivet nut installs correctly. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut. Mandrel and nosepiece sets are required and sold separately.
Tools with plunger 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
Smaller and lighter than cordless and hydraulic rivet nut tools, use these to install 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.
