Are ‘air nutsert gun’, ‘pneumatic nutsert gun’ and ‘air rivet nut gun’ the same?
Yes, they are the same. They refer to nutsert tools powered by compressed air to install nutserts. They are generally used for construction and manufacturing.
What are the advantages of using a pneumatic nutsert gun?
A pneumatic nutsert gun has the following advantages:
● Ease of use – Compared with a manual Rivet Nut Tool, a pneumatic nutsert gun follows an easy and efficient process to wind on/off nutserts and install nutserts without requiring physical efforts of hand tools.
● Quality installation – Once the correct air pressure and stroke are adjusted, a pneumatic nutsert gun delivers a more consistent and precise installation result than a manual rivet nut tool.
● Non-interrupted operation – Unlike a Cordless Nutsert Gun, a pneumatic nutsert gun uses continuous compressed air as the driving force. You don’t need to worry about replacing a battery.
● Option of a lightweight body design – A pistol-style pneumatic nutsert gun can be as light as 1kg. It doesn’t place physical stress on your arms.
What do you have to consider when using an air nutsert gun?
● Choose the correct-sized mandrel and nosepiece to suit the nutserts you are installing.
● Adjust the air pressure per the tool’s specifications using an air regulator. Over-pressurising the tool will cause damage.
● Adjust the stroke of the air nutsert gun to ensure the nutserts are appropriately installed. You may refer to the diagram below for the correct installation.
● Always perform a test run before high production.

Does an air nutsert gun need to be maintained?
Yes. Regular maintenance, including airline lubrication and hydraulic oil top-up, is essential to avoid tool failure and faulty installation. You will also need to lubricate the mandrel and replace it if the thread is worn.
