Rivet Nut Tool

A rivet nut tool is a hand tool or power tool used to install rivet nuts. It can be battery operated or pneumatic, and it sets the nut by pulling a mandrel through it.

A rivet nut tool sets rivet nuts into thin sheet and similar panels. It often comes in battery operated and pneumatic forms, and a hand tool covers light work. Match the tool to the rivet nut thread and the panel material.

Rivet nut tools are often made in steel or aluminium for the body, with rubber or plastic grips. Steel gives durability, while aluminium keeps the tool light.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance to confirm the tool meets the listed specifications. On receipt, check the tool for smooth operation, correct mandrel fit, and any damage.
