Review on Setter Rivnut Setting Riveter Mandrels Tools & Equipment by William Wiley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nice tool but had to buy the version with case

Many sell the exact same tool but with different accessories. I wanted a 3/8 mandrel so I had to go to this seller who doesn't offer a hard case. The case is only $10 more and worth having but not at the expense of the mandrel I needed. But if you can handle swapping out a 3/8 mandrel for an 8-32 version, then buy it in a case instead of getting a box full of loose tool parts. The seller should list the case separately, but I don't see it for sale separately yet. UPDATE: I bought 10-24 stainless steel nuts off Amazon and tried using them with this tool. The thorn broke off the first one! Where the heck can I get a 10-24 mandrel to fit this tool that works with a regular stainless steel rivet without breaking the mandrel? If you're using stainless steel rivets, stay away from this particular socket as it won't hold. Update: I tried using this tool with 304 stainless steel rivets which you can buy anywhere on Revain and Ebay and the very first time I used the mandrel broke at 10-24. What good is a socket wrench if it doesn't work with normal rivets?
