A compact handheld blind rivet nut tool and rivet nut kit designed to install rivet nuts quickly and reliably where access behind the workpiece is limited or the base material is too thin for a conventional tapped hole. Key benefits - Solves hard-to-reach fastening problems: installs blind rivet nuts from the front side when you cannot access the back of the panel or when the material is too thin for direct threading. - Simple, fast operation: drill a corresponding hole, mount the matching rivet nut on the tool, insert into the hole, squeeze the handle and the nut is set. - Comfortable, fatigue-reducing design: ergonomic curved handles maximize comfort during repeated use. - Durable construction for consistent performance: tool body is made from thickened carbon steel with heat treatment to resist corrosion and deformation; rivet nuts are high-quality aluminum alloy for long service life. What it does - Installs blind (closed-back) rivet nuts to create strong, load-bearing internal threads in sheet metal, plastics and other thin materials. - Works with the matching rivet nut sizes supplied or specified for the tool (mount the appropriate nut on the tool before use). Materials and performance - Tool: thickened carbon steel with heat treatment to improve strength and resist corrosion and deformation. - Handles: ergonomically curved for user comfort and control. - Rivet nuts: aluminum alloy, providing durable, reliable threads and extended lifespan. Easy step-by-step use 1. Drill a hole in the workpiece sized for the selected rivet nut. 2. Thread and mount the appropriate rivet nut onto the tool mandrel. 3. Insert the rivet nut into the hole, squeeze the handles until the nut is fully compressed and set. 4. Release the tool and remove the installed rivet nut. Practical applications - Automotive repair: install thread inserts for body panels, brackets, and accessory mounts where access behind a panel is impossible. - Trailer and RV maintenance: fit secure threaded anchors in thin sheet metal for mounting hardware and fittings. - Furniture and boat construction or repair: add strong internal threads in thin panels for fasteners, brackets and hardware. Included and compatibility - Handheld blind nut and rivet kit (hand-assembled). - Uses corresponding rivet nuts matched to the tool mandrel (ensure you use the correct nut size for your application). Why choose this tool - Reliable, long-lasting components and a comfortable grip make repetitive installations easier. - Designed specifically for situations where traditional fasteners cannot be used because of thin material or restricted rear access. - Suitable for a wide range of repair and assembly tasks across automotive, marine, trailer, furniture and general metalwork applications.
