Rivnut Tool FAQs

Are ‘rivnut tool’, ‘nutsert tool’ and ‘nutsert gun’ the same?

Yes, they are the same. They refer to tools designed to install rivet nuts, rivnuts or nutserts. Depending on how the pulling force is generated, rivnut tools can be categorised as manual rivnut tools, cordless nutsert guns and air nutsert guns.

Can I use a regular rivet gun for rivnuts?

No. Although the installation process of both tools involves a pulling action, a rivet gun has different mechanisms from a rivnut tool. You will need to purchase a suitable rivnut tool to install rivnuts.

How does a rivnut tool work?

Rivnuts are installed using either a manual rivnut tool or a powered rivnut gun. The installation steps are as below:

● Wind the rivnut onto the thread of a rivnut tool
● Insert the rivnut into a pre-drilled hole
● The mandrel of the tool engages the threaded part of the rivnut and crimps the rivnut body (the part without thread) with a pulling action until the body grips tightly against the material being fastened.
● Unwind the rivnut

For how to install the rivnuts by using a RT-512 ratchet Rivnut Tool, watch the video below:
