Cordless Drill Electric Rivet Nut Drill Adapter Kit, Rivet Nut Tool Kit Including 10 Mandrel and 50Pcs Assorted Rivet Nuts, Rugged Carrying Case

For rivet nuts, I previously used a small 11-inch rivnut crimping tool. That crimper was small, and too weak to set an M8 aluminum rivnut, and too weak for ANY stainless steel rivnut. I got it because it was cheap, and "did the job" for a DIY project, but ultimately, I hated how that tool was so hard to use, and I got mixed results. This new type of rivnut tool uses the torque of a drill to set the rivnut. It's much stronger than my small 11" crimper, and is also much stronger than a regular 14" crimper. It doesn't turn the nut while setting it, but just provides a steady strong pull on the nut. It has a smaller case and easy to store than the handle crimper. There's the one from AstroPneumatic, which is solid by pricey, but this cheapchinese immitation is pretty good.

I tried all the suggestions how to set rivet nuts without a tool specifically made for that purpose. I didn't have success with any of them. I saw this tool on Amazon and decided to purchase it based on the Amazon reviews & Youtube videos . This tool does what it is designed to do with great efficiency. It appears to be well made, the aluminum housing feels solid and comfortable to hold. I set 2 1/4x20 rivet nuts with my 18VDC battery operated DeWalt drill. It did a great job without bogged the drill down. I set my clutch to 17 & it seemed set the nut correctly without over tightening it. I put a 1/4 bolt in the nut and tightened it down very tight. The nut never showed any signs of slipping.

Drill failed to compress nut. When used heavy torque to set nut is destroyed the tool

This tool does exactly like It should and I am happy with it. WORD of caution, instructions are poor at best. DO NOT hammer on the insert of any size to "make sure" it is seated. I broke the anvil doing that very thing with an M18 impact drive. I was just going to give it a little more so I could say "that's not going anywhere" and poof broke the anvil. My fault not the tool. Although the anvil or screw adapter inside could be bigger for this reason. Still very happy with the tool and beats other ways to install blind hole nuts. Only reason for the 4 stars is what I made fail!

This product seems great in concept, however, the lack of instructions with the product make it very hard to use if you've never used something like this before. I encourage you to look up videos before using. Additionally, my set came with a defective M5 mandrel. It wouldn't thread the rivnut all the way which lead to the rivnut stripping when I tried applying it. This is the main reason why it gets 3 stars. I've contacted the seller to see if they can provide me with a new M5 mandrel. If they do, I will update this review with this information and adjust the rating accordingly. UPDATE: The seller was able to send me a new M5 mandrel without issue. I was also able to successfully use other sized mandrels in the set without issue so this may have just been a fluke of that specific one.

Time and body saver. No more awkward body positions for what feels like forever because of the position. Also good for fixing lazy manufacturing practices.

Not bad but not good I wish I had bought the manual type the heavy duty scissor type roof nut installer this thing is hard to hold on to slide through your hands comes apart easily and does not tighten up exactly right every time hard to adjust and hard to keep adjusted and how it needs to be to set the river nuts a little disappointed

This little guy is fantastic and fast. I use the M12 installation driver and its a match made in heaven. I read some previous reviews on no instructions but it is not difficult to figure out. Unscrew the top, remove the spring, unscrew the fitting that a rivnut would thread onto. Replace with desired size in the same orientation! I am using this to make custom ground and speaker mounting connections for car audio installs BUT I did get carried away and now have several spots on the work bench to hang things.

Tool arrived early and just as pictured. Looks well built. Plenty of different sizes rivnuts in pack. Great seller.

This tool will improve the quality of your jobs and make it look more professional bolting things in places.

15 M5 rivenuts and the shaft broke. Did’nt even torke the rivenuts. Hoping for service and refund

It worked the first time, the second time (a month later) we couldn't make it work. Waste of money and now we are stuck with it.

Tool broke installing the second rivet nut. Sorry I had to give it one star rating it should be zero.
