I'm a rivet nut

I've only recently learned about the magic of rivets and last week I wanted their thing to be like a nut you put behind metal so you can temporarily attach something. look, nucert; they are also magical and I confuse everything that catches my eye. This particular tool works great for me. After flexing the tool a few times, I did a test run to become familiar with its performance under tension, and then installed 10 more (into my truck's top rail to mount my body, which always had screws to…

Pros
  • Tool disassembly is never required, unique spring-loaded socket head sleeve automatically locks rotation of a manually installed mandrel
Cons
  • Guard

Our truck's intercooler worked great.

Bought for my husband. We are in the process of restoring our wrecked truck and had to use it on our main intercooler mount. There were open holes where flush mount rivets were missing, allowing us to use a proper insert with this tool. and install it with this riveting tool and then install the screw into the stud as you need. My husband was very shocked that such a tool and inserts existed! He wanted to know why our truck manufacturer no longer uses this type of rivet insert in certain areas.

Pros
  • Short handle with double compound loops for increased leverage. Great for off road/jeep mods
Cons
  • Easy maintainability

Does the job well, good price - with a few caveats

I've needed a tool like this for a long time and I always had a Marson wrench from my friend to borrow. I finally decided to try the Astro kit knowing it was made in China and might have some issues. I was happy to see that it actually works quite well despite some obvious design/manufacturing issues. I can see how some others might be struggling, so let me give you a few tips that I think will help you succeed. and I can't stress this enough, LUBRICATE THE TOOL BEFORE USE. When delivered…

Pros
  • 6 sets of replacement rods/tips and 10 pcs. Rivet nuts in metric sizes M5, M6 and M8, as well as SAE 10-24, 1/4-20 and 5/16-18
Cons
  • A few little things
