Thanks for sharing! That's a perfect example of how versatile well nuts can be.

You are welcome. Thanks for your feedback :)

That's the problem I'm having

@@MB-kr4cg turned out I had a defective rivet gun. Returned it for a new one and it worked perfectly.

@@SynthD I'll probably have to do the same but don't have the time 🤦🏾‍♀️ used my Dremel to cut off the shank 😅🤣

I do not recommend it. Plus nuts work better on a stroke-controlled tool rather than a pressure-control tool.

That's awesome! We're glad our video could be helpful for your English assignment. If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to ask. Thanks for watching!

Sorry Paul, you are right! 😁 Here is a link to the rivstud installation video. czcams.com/video/u8tDn1AzFfM/video.html

Thank you for your feedback! You're absolutely right: showing the inside of the square tube with the well nut holding the eyebolt is a great idea. We'll make sure to include that in our future videos to provide even more clarity.

@@rivetlab Thanks for the reply. Good demo video; i enjoyed it. :) **edit** btw, was not doubting, but i believe in "trust but verify", specially when it involves mechanical items. lol

You're very welcome! We're delighted to hear that our demonstration was helpful for your project with the Prado.

You are welcome!

You are welcome :)

Cost is about $250 USD Ken. Probably no need to purchase for such occasional use but it's a good method to install and can set M12 stainless steel. Great value from that perspective.

If you are installing anything that relies on a M8-M12 bolt, you want a proper tool. Apart from safety issues, ‘a stripped bolt can turn a 30 min job into a 3 day nightmare’ applies here too. Try drilling out a damaged rivnut that hasn’t set and is spinning freely. This is an industrial grade tool. You can get much cheaper clones if you are an occasional home user, and they are fine. You don’t need a ratchet tool for general use, as you can get lever handle models that tend to be cheaper still. A ratchet is good in cars or anywhere with constrained space though. Lastly, this kit is pricy, but it comes with a M5 mandrel. All the cheaper ratchet kits are M6 or M8 up. M5 stainless is my most used, so the legit tool was good value for money for me vs buying a cheap M3-M5 and a M6-M12.

The cost is inline with high production air tools. For low volume installations the cost is hard to justify but it's totally relevant when you are setting thousand of rivet nuts.

You can certainly set rivet nuts with DIY or low cost hand tools Bofa. This tool is more likely to be used on production lines etc. It just depends on what your requirements are. A bolt, nut and washers pulls up the rivet nut by spinning. This is not kind on the thread and will cause major issues on Aluminium and Stainless rivet nuts.

Hi Kate, Setting up the rivstud mandrels is the same as the rivnut mandrels. You may refer to our previous demo video of the RT-512. You may use the nosepiece (which comes with the tool) of the rivnut mandrel for the same-sized rivstud mandrel. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for your question. There could be a couple of reasons for your rivet nuts being pulled up on an angle: a. Sometimes it can be harder to keep a hand tool at a 90º angle. b. Check the hole size drilled for the rivet nut and grip range is correct. c. If the rivet nut is a low-quality product you can expect installation issues. d. Power tools do a better job of pulling the rivet nut flat and into place.

@@rivetlab Thanks that was valuable. I do believe I have point a correct. regarding b I have the hole a bit undersize, so there is some friction on inserting the rivet nut, is that wrong? I don't know about c, every manufacturer claims their products are fine. Still I'm interested to learn why d is the case? Thanks for your time!

@@SE45CX Hi, check the specs on the correct hole size. If the hole is too small (or too large, on the other hand), you could get variable results.
