Review on ๐Ÿ”ฉ 50pcs M5 Rivet Nuts: Stainless Steel Threaded Insert Nutsert Rivnuts for M5-0.8 Threads by Douglas Coronado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buy a rip nut first!

Everything looks great, delivery is fast, no problems. However, at least for the M5 version, do NOT think you can install it with a screw and the trick learned on YouTube instead of using the right tool. You definitely need the right tool to tighten the nuts. I ripped off the hex head and then loosened two M5 bolts while trying to thread one of these into the bike frame to attach a water bottle and the nut didn't even begin to break. I greased the threads but couldn't get enough torque on the nut and bolt to get this thing to work. This probably indicates a good, strong hold when it collapses, but now I have holes in my bike's frame and need to find the right tool to finish the job.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
