Collection: Rivet Nut Tools

A rivet nut tool is used to install threaded rivet nuts into sheet metal, box sections, tubes and other materials where access is only available from one side. Once installed, the rivet nut creates a strong internal thread for bolts or machine screws.

A rivet tool sets blind rivets to permanently join materials together. A rivet nut tool sets threaded rivet nuts, creating a reusable fixing point that allows components to be bolted on, removed and refitted.

The best rivet nut tool depends on the thread sizes you need to install, the material you are working with and how often the tool will be used. Manual rivet nut tools are suitable for occasional jobs, while battery-powered and pneumatic rivet nut tools are better for professional or high-volume use.

Yes. Battery-powered rivet nut tools are ideal for professional users who need portability, speed and consistent setting performance. They are a strong choice for site work, maintenance teams, vehicle repair, fabrication and assembly applications.

A pneumatic rivet nut tool is best for frequent or production-level installation of rivet nuts. Pneumatic tools offer fast cycle times, reliable power and efficient repeat use, making them suitable for workshops, factories and industrial fastening applications.

Many rivet nut tools can install a range of thread sizes, such as M4, M5, M6, M8 or larger, depending on the model. You may need the correct threaded mandrel and nosepiece for each rivet nut size, so always check the tool specification before ordering.

Rivet nuts can be installed into materials such as steel, aluminium, stainless steel, plastics and composites, depending on the rivet nut type and application. The correct rivet nut size, material and setting tool should be chosen for the strength and thickness required.

Rivet nuts are useful when the material is too thin to tap a strong thread or when access is only possible from one side. They provide a durable threaded fixing point without welding, tapping or needing access to the rear of the panel.
