Review on 17 Inch Riveter Including Interchangeable Mandrel（M3 by Bill Howard

I just found out about this product, and rivet nuts. I'm very glad about that. Mainly I need it for my heat pump which has a plate covering the filter with a dozen sheet metal screws holding it in place. I wore out the holes a few years ago by removing and installing them to replace the filter. It shouldn't be designed that way as they expect you to change the filter frequently but still provide sheet metal screws which wear out the holes quickly. Anyway, I tried using sheet metal screw clamps and while they worked for a while they started loosening and falling out of the holes when I changed the filter. Enter rivet nuts! I drilled a few more holes and installed rivet nuts. I now have the mounting screws that hold the filter plate to my heat pump. Much better for durability and a more secure hold of the record. You'll need some room behind the plate for the nut to stick out, but overall this is a MUCH better solution if you have the space. I am very happy with it. The assembly tool makes a robust impression. It comes in a variety of sizes, metric and US, and changing dies to different sizes is easy. The included rivet nuts have some kind of gold colored anti-corrosion coating and I have to weather the product for a while before I can judge the coating. However, overall I am very happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone who has a need for sheet metal fasteners.
