Review on 💪 Revamped Rivet Setting: Mighty Mandrels by Edward Perez

Reliable tool. Just note that the rivet protrudes above the surface of whoever you're inserting it into, so you can't screw anything completely flush to it unless you intend to. I work with steel (fabrication/welding) and if I intend to use a rivet nut to join the parts together, I drill a 1/16" pilot hole in both parts when they are temporarily bolted together in their final position to provide a registration hole for later drilling. If you install a 1/4" rivet nut, the hole for the nut will be larger, say 1/4" (actually 3/8). The protruding head of the nut will be even larger (1/2"). The part that will be bolted to the rivet will require a hole the same size as the head of the rivet IF YOU WANT THE PARTS TO MATCH. Keep this in mind and make sure your application has enough material to allow this, if the protruding head is not a problem, the part that bolts to the rivet just needs a hole large enough for the bolt.
