Rivet Nut Tool Adapter for Cordless Drill Electric- Newly Labor-Saving Rivet Nut Gun Kit with 5 Metric Mandrels(M3 M4 M5 M6 M8), 100 Pcs Rivet Nuts Assortment Kit

I use to hate installing rivet nuts, have project that I put off finishing because I knew rivet nuts were going to be used?! Finished quickly and liked the option of different sizes.

I thought this would be like the Astro tool but shorter. Turns out, it’s just a straight through drive with a handle. Some nuts are relatively easy to strip or damage the threads. The force used to collapse the nut is applied by turning the arbor in the threads, whereas the Astro tool threads all the way in, and then pulls the arbor to set the nut without turning in the threads. Great for the threads and nuts, but not great in tight spots. This will do the job in a tight space, at the risk of the threads. I returned it and got the Astro ADN14

Installed the 4 nutserts for my rear ladder install on my Range Rover a snap. Literally, 10Seconds eachI chose this instead of the manual toolSimply because the case for this is smaller and easier to store. It was only a get $ more than the manualTool. Worth it.

The tool is well made, comes with a variety of metric rivet nut heads, but after two tests, the tool stripped out the treads on the rivet nuts, rendering them useless. I used a cordless drill on the first test with the speed set on low, and the torque setting low. The second test was with a 1/4" socket and ratchet drive.Most rivet nut tools compress the rivet by means of pulling up on the mandrel. This tool rotates the mandrel and places the force for the compression of the rivet nut on the nut's threads, resulting in the rivet nut failure.Clever idea, but it fails during execution.

The screw of the shaft lost threading. Rivet didn’t come as thought. Needs a redesign to protect the thread of device don’t protect the rivet
