Review on πŸ”§ HIFESON Hand Rivet Nut Tool: Manual Riveting for M5, M6, M8 Nuts (10-24, 1/4-20, 5/16-18 Sizes) by Michael Bazen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great idea in the Tools & Equipment section

Cheaper than any other socket wrench but I suggest replacing all screws with grade 8/10.9 screws. The 10-24 nuts that come with the kit are rubbish and strip the threads before crimping. I removed the strings from all 5 that came with the kit and got screwed in a bit since my truck had mirrors. I used all 1/4-20 nuts, the only problem was that I cut the included bolt during installation. 1, managed to unscrew with pliers, then cut off the next class 8 screw. I learned how to use setting 2 on my Ryobi Wireless Kick. Smaller nuts should just be trash. I wish there were some sort of teeth to clamp the nut's flange like in real industrial bent nut systems, but if you drill the hole to size or just tighten it a little you should be fine. .if you don't use the included small nuts.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
