    Have you ever thought of adding a drop of thread locker on the collar before inserting the rivnut into the hole? It would be added security preventing the rivnut from spinning in the hole. Just a thought!!

    That damn thing that screws on to that thing is what it is called. Great video. Bought one of those a few years back to do a job on a boat. Thought one of those things I would buy do this job and never use again. I am a fool. I use it not everyday or week but the usage is way more than I ever dreamed and like you went from the few supplies that come with it to a toolbox full of parts and accessories to use on the many things I never dreamed of until I drilled a whole in something and put threads in it.

The company will sell individual mandrels at a very reasonable price. When I bought a replacement, I bought an extra at the same time. I dont use it a lot, but when the need arises, it's a, "I got to have it!"

    Hey Faye, wait until you discover a pneumatic rivnut gun, absolute game changer and you'll never want to use that lever style ever again, they come with a set of all the common metric thread arbors and SAE are also available, pretty affordable price for the kit too!!
    They also make pneumatic pop rivet gun kits, which come with 3 or 4 different size rivet shank collars included, and they're pretty affordable too.
    Gone are the days of struggling and popping the tendons in your hands pulling rivnuts and pop rivets manually🤣👍

      I found out about hydraulic rivet tools when another channel was displaying a ratcheting rivet nut setter, as one of the commentors there mentioned them. I went down a rabbit hole trying to find one and in the process discovered the Huck HK-150, found one on ebay for $60 and picked it up. With a HK-150 in hand I went looking for additional mandrels and figured out that McMaster-Carr sells compatible pullup studs/anvils, and replacement jaws for pop rivets. They also sell a hydraulic hand tool much like the Huck one, and with some more looking it looks like the HK-150 might have an open patent and the tool is made and sold under various names. The one I bought came in a case with a sticker for ROGO Fastener Co, I saw other listings that the case stated HK-150 on the front and on other sites the tool looks the exact same, they just dont show enough detail to show the exact name of the tool as printed on the handles.
      The short and sweet, you can get a hydraulic hand riveter and replacement parts from McMaster Carr and if you are regularly installing rivnuts, I would recommend it. and while on their site you can get all sorts of rivnuts and spare parts too.

    Thanks for the great tutorial. i have the same tool and am finding lots of uses. The only time I can't use it is when there is not enough room to get the tool into place and have enough room to pull apart the handles. For situations like this I made a smaller tool using an old wrench, then to compress the rivnut a screw as a mandrill and some washers. takes a little longer to squish the nut but fits almost everywhere.

  • @legionofanon
    @legionofanon Місяць тому

    On your closing notes about materials to use riv nuts in, they make a rivnut called a plus nut for softer or fragile materials like plastic or fiberglass. It has cuts in the side and the nut is longer before compression, and when compressed the nut expands more to obtain a larger grab of the backside of the surface. I bought a 10 pack of a metric threaded one to replace a seized and spun out plastic thread insert for the air filter cover of a cat track steer. it works great. When you really look into all the rivnut varieties, you could end up filling an entire parts bin with all the different riv nuts you might ever need.
    McMaster Carr sells a large variety of them, they ship fast and I have not been disappointed with the quality of their fasteners yet. And they sell all sorts of nutsert setters and replacement parts for them too

    On thinner material I prefer using a step drill and drill it slightly undersized then use a tapered reamer to size up hole for a snug fit when installing the rivnut. Drill bits , especially bigger sizes tend to cut a hole on thinner material that isn’t concentric when using a hand drill. If I have to use a drill bit I always go undersize then ream it to size .

    Those are all well and good to use initially for fastening parts into blind holes. However, it's in my experience that these things rust/corrode to the fastener threads. When this happens, the rivnut itself will turn in the hole instead of unscrewing the fastener. Then you will have issues removing the piece since the is no way to hold a blind rivet to keep it from turning.

    Peterbilt uses a lot of them, if you live where rust and corrosion are an issue then antiseize the bolts you put into them. If they get stuck the only option is cut the head of the bolt, remove the parts it was holding, then grind the flange of the insert and push it in.

Using Nutserts in flat plastic sheets will work if backed up with a fender washer . Flanged Nutserts are more secured in place .

    When drilling through steel use your drill on slow (1) setting because it needs to have time to create the chip to cut properly because on high speed the cutting edge is spinning so fast it can only take such a small piece to be able the size as dust then it will rub the surface until it heats up both then it will damage the drills cutting edge
