Rivet Nut Tool Rivet Nut Kit, Rivnut Tool Kit with 10 Metric and SAE Mandrels, 100 Pcs Rivet Nuts Assortment Kit, Professional Ratchet Nutsert Tool Kit with Rugged Carrying Case, TR21

This is a very different nutsert tool. If you have used a wishbone type of riveting tool, you'll have to learn a new way. This is a ratcheting tool, it works differently. Takes a bit of a learning curve, but easily learned. Test a rivet or two first on a blank piece of metal. Well built, heavy duty, tool itself is heavy. Nice thing is it can be used in tight places. Odd thing is the nose cone, has two opposing flats for a wrench to assist in removal, but no wrench included. All it needs a flat open end 20mm wrench, but they are not common. I did find a flat, short one online, but they should include one. Nice case, pinned hinges, has large area the for rivets. Would like to see the case with independent sections for the rivets instead of cellophane packs. There is storage in the lid for all the mandrels, very snug in their respective slots. Large, clear, size markings on the end of the mandrels. Instruction sheet could be written better, had to guess at a few things. The manual is 4 pages, with the last two being blank. They could include a chart on what drill size to use for each size of rivet included with the set, and thickness tolerances of the material being riveted to. The instructions indicate a scale on the tool, it took some very close looking to find a tiny scale, a decal that cannot not be seen while using, supposedly to help set the stroke of the tool. Really, you have to trust “feel” to get it set right. Yes, it can work with aluminum nutserts. Overall, good tool for the money, would recommend it to any mechanic & sheet metal worker.

Where has this tool been all my life? Excellent quality tool that covers both metric and inch sizes. I just reinstalled the running board on my truck using this and it worked as any professional quality tool should.

This tool just works. Not much more I can say about it. Definitely worth the price.

Instructions are crap. Mostly figured it out and it looks like it will work fine once I do. The first two rivenuts I set seemed to go well. Once I extracted the tool the bolts went in only so far before hitting some blockage. When I figure out how to set up the tool I think it will work great. Did I mention the instructions are crap and confusing?

Needed something compact to use with nutserts, this not only fit into a small area, it's very easy to use with not much effort to set the nutserts.

Great for hard to reach areas, very well made.

I was skeptical due to the price but it feels like a heavy duty, well built tool. I needed to put a rivnut in an area where the long handle style tools wouldn't fit and this worked like a charm. There's some YouTube videos showing how to use it too.

Very handy especially working in small spaces.
