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.

The most corrosion resistant low-profile rivet nuts we offer, these stand up to chemicals. They're often used for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. The threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve when installed, creating pressure against the hole to secure the nut. The tin-plating provides lubricity allowing the nut to collapse smoothly. Drill bit size listed in the table is for material with a 0.030"-0.090" thickness. These rivet nuts can 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.

These low-profile rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts. They have a low profile for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. A cadmium-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 can 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.

Threads float inside the nut so you can install a screw at a slight angle to align with off-center parts. They’re also known as Riv-Float nuts. A ribbed body makes them resistant to spinning and twisting. They're zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance. Install in a drilled hole with a wrench-driven tool (required, sold separately). Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Use these tools to install most styles of rivet nuts. A wrench and ratchet are required to hold the tool and tighten the nut.

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.

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.

Quickly install all styles of rivet nuts at 1.5-second intervals. The tool includes nosepiece assemblies to install M4, M5, M6, and M8 rivet nuts (additional sizes sold separately). 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.

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.

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 knob 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.

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.
