⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any RUclips fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing - easy to spot my videos! If that's not your thing and you'd prefer to watch a face, all good, I won't be offended, there's plenty of better looking ones to watch already on RUclips ;)
⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)

Thanks!! I replied to the 3rd video of yours on rivnuts.. I don't think I'll be able to use the tool.. Your videos on how to use wrenches will probably work better for me. I don't have much arm strength to squeeze the tool. Not to mention there's not much room to get the tool in where I need to put the rivnut in.
Nut cert
i hate saying this for every tool i've ever purchased but i didn't know i needed one of these tools till now.
Yeah they work well 😊
Right you are.
Everyone calls me a tool horder until they need to borrow my tools.
🤣
U might need a platano peeler
Took me 4 videos to find someone telling me how to attach the Rivnut, expand the handle. Then snug up the Rivnut again. Thank you, up to that point 4 tries failed. Thanks again!
My new favorite construction technology.
As I've gotten older and learned more and more about construction I have began to really appreciate the innovative ways people have developed to overcome difficult situations or just simply bring things together in a flush and clean way
Extremely helpful... my neighbor loaned me Stanley threadserts along with the tool. There seem to be no videos on RUclips describing that specific hardware and tools... but this video was close enough I was easily able to figure things out. Thanks so much!
I've recently started a project that calls for rivet nutserts. I bought the tool on Amazon and had no idea how to use it. I'm sure I could've figured it out but thanks to watching your video I didn't have to. Very informative...thank you 👍
You have given me a great alternative. I have issues riveting my tonneau cover as they slip out after some time. I will definitely get to work on it. Thank you very much. I can just imagine how much effort you've put in this video to get it just right. 👍
Nice!!
Great, this was exactly what I was looking for, thumbs up!
Super interesting! I thought I could just install These blind nuts using a mallet, but after seeing you squish the thing I see why I would want a tool.
Thank you!
I just purchased the nut rivet tool ... this is just what I needed! Thank you
You'll use this tool more than you think. Suggestion - do a test insert on a scrap piece so you can see how much pull is needed to set the insert. Especially on smaller sizes. Otherwise you can snap the mandrel with too much pull. You never pull handles enough to touch each other.
An excellent instructional video! Thank you!
This is the best demo on RUclips dude. Extremely well done 👍
Thanks for the comment! I put hours and hours into these vids (most are around 30 hours total) to try and make them the best I can, hopefully they're improving 🤣 Anyway, cheers mate 👍
This video is exactly what I was looking for! Well done, great video!
With geriatricism slowly approaching a great video is worth a thousand words in small print. Thank You. 🙌🏽
One commenter asked how you know how much stroke to use and you replied that you use a two-step process to not overdo it, which is fine. The tool I received came with pretty understandable instructions and a chart that lets you determine based on rivnut size and thickness of the metal you have, how much travel you should look for using the gauge in millimeters of travel. This allows you to get the right amount of "crush" without underdoing it (spinning rivnuts) or overdoing it and possibly breaking the mandrel/die.
Thank You for this video! I always wanted this tool without knowing what it was till a friend bought it. So many things to go back over and install more professionally now. It's like the Molle military nylon straps for sheet metal :D Your video was the most informative and straight forward out of the few I watched. Very helpful and gave me the confidence to put my first rivnut I ever did right in the A-pillar of my 21+ year owned truck I love dearly :) I'm mechanically capable and I'm an engineer so that helped a lot but still, ballsy but no sweat with your instructions :) Thank You again!
Thanks a whole lot. Your instructions are very detailed and informative. Thank you.
Excellent video, thanks for that. The turny twisty thingy that releases the bolt was cool as well, I couldn't work out how to get the tool off one the nutsert was in.
Project- I'm remounting the hatch/cover for a water tank on a narrow boat (UK)- it had bots welded underneath the plate, but they have corroded and half have disappeared. So I'm going to grind off what rests & use nutserts instead.
I just got mine from eBay and was looking for a video
Many thanks....
TEN STAR Tutorial Video!…completely easy to follow. I just ordered mine and will get it in 2 more days..thanks for the super clear tutorial…
Awesome tutorial clip on rivet tool....I just got one and wasn't sure how to use it....until now.
Beautiful.. will be doing this tommorrow at work.. thanks dude! 😁👍🏻
Great video! Im about to be a first time rivnut user to add a rear diffuser on my car. I have confidence going in now
Thanks for the clear and simple instructions. My tool turned up with Chinese instructions! I used these to put nut certs in my van roof to bolt some roof racks on, the ones available for my van only clamp to the edge of the roof and I didn’t feel they would be safe and would worry they’d come loose! This video helped me out big time!
Glad it helped!
@@VideoShowMeHow roughly knew how to use it but I didn’t want to cock it up especially with drilling holes in my roof!
@@Legend-wu7pj How did you know you'd have clearance on the inside for the rivnut?
Thank you for the video. The tool you have is the identical tool I have. Because you took the time to make this video I now know how to correctly use it!!
I have one of the same kit you have. It works fantastic!
Thanks Mate, nice demo. I've been thinking of ways to fasten square/rectangle tubing to mount my fridge slide and drawers in my ute canopy. Lo and behold your vid pops into my suggested feed. I want to diy and have never welded. I reckon a new little tool purchase is on the cards...
Welcome. If you're doing a few the tool can't be beat 👍 Have a demo of it in the Rivnut playlist on the channel 😃
Thanks for posting,my Chinese is a little rusty as far as reading the instructions.This video made it much simpler.
Welcome :) Merry Christmas
I'm glad I saw this. I will be using the bolts as balancing feet for my old white gas camping stove.
Nice!
Annoying music, but a very good educational video.
Thanks
I thought the same thing, hamidbazmi7948, but the music stops at about the 1-minute mark.
Great video! I wanted to learn about these cause we use these on all the body panels of the excavators I do engineering work on. Thank you!
Thank you for the information. VERY helpful. Stay safe.
Cheers Tim!
Very well done! Thank you for this! Time to go to work!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! The one I purchased on, Amazon did not come with any instructions, but was very similar to the one that you used. And your simple demonstration was very helpful!!!
Glad it helped! 👍
Great video. 1st time needing to use rivet nut install tool.
Thanks for tutorial.
Just got mine and going to use it to put foldable legs on my keg spit. 👍
Great video, and thank you for a well planned and thoroughly informative instruction. 😊
Thank for the tips. I just installed a new radiator and electric fans in a 40year old truck.
I didn't even know this existed!!!! 😱 Been looking for something like this for years!!! Even hardware stores didn't know what I was talking about when I tried to explain what I wanted. They'd say "I think you just invented something cause I don't know what the heck you're describing. 😐"
Cheers mate very helpful 👍🏻
Regards from Scotland 🏴
Cheers 👍
nice. will be needing to use this same version to install nutserts for a deck bed on my Jeep Gladiator!
Gladiator **droool**
Nurserts for decking?
I picked up the same kit the other day, great value! We should make a challenge to see who can legitimately use all of the inserts first haha....
Haha that's a whole lota rivnuts!
The previous owner of my Raptor 700 was apparently a fan of doing wheelies.
I've got one nutsert missing and another loose for the rear grab bar mount.
This has been super helpful. Thank you.
Perfect Demo
Very helpful. Thanks!
You teache very well, I did kow this tool exited !
Cheers :)
Nice video, clear explanation...subbed.
Thanks mate, glad it was helpful 👍
Great video man !!
Great video very helpful thanks
Thanks ... great demo!
Thank you this helped a lot I’ll be using this to install my wide body kit on my E46
Nice!
I’m also using this for a wide body kit on my 86
I just found this video for fender flares on my STI lol 😂
I'm fixing a real parcel shelf on my E46. Previous owner cut the middle section out for a messed up looking speaker shelf. Trying to get it back to oem look and keep trunk sound out. I have everything done, now time for the threaded insert. But, I don't want the insert to spin. And so I don't know if I need a specific type of insert made of Aluminum Brass or Steel?
On RUclips to hopefully find what insert type can I use so I can torque to bolt to roughly 10ft/lbs without spinning it on this sheet metal?
Thank you
Previous owner of my classic mini used self tappers for the arches... I'm also here for upgrades. These nutserts will definitely cope with 10 ft/lbs, use a steel one but only if you buy the beefier rivet tool like this one shown (steel rivnuts + the one handed tool will be a bad time)
Thanks buddy very helpful tutorials
Cheers!
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you. I was going to get one and would not have gotten a longer handled one.
Welcome 🤘
Thank you for your video it is very helpful
Awesome video, thank you
👌
Probably the best video on RUclips, showing how to install Rivnuts!! The only thing I would add; the small one hand install tool is great for the smaller sized Rivnuts, where all that torque isn't required. You can use the large tool, that you did, for all sizes, *if you're careful. Its very easy to break the smaller mandrel or dies with all that leverage.
Top tip and thank you for the feedback :) 👍
Can these be used for plastic ATV panels
@@matthewgriffin8049 I've used on plastic before so can't see why not, so long as the surface is flat (ish)
Hi,can you cut the excess material of to make it flush?
Great review 🤙
Thanks for this Video!
Awesome Video !!!! I will buy this tool, I have some shelves to do in my Work Van!!!! (y)
Great video. In your demo you showed underneath the metal a visual of how you know when you've locked it down enough. How can you tell if you cannot see underneath your surface? How would I know when to stop riveting it down?
You can feel it get much harder to press/turn when installing 👍
Hope you get to a million subs so i can say i was here b4 fore you hit 1k! lol
Thanks mate lol 😁👌
Nice and I formative video with good explanation
Bet is the neatest tool no one knew of 🤓💯💖✨🎊🎉🎊
Great video! Just a note, rivnuts can be used on rounded surfaces, such as tube with no issue.
Right on thank you!
Thanks for the video!
What is the scale for? It has graduations for some sort of measurement.
Also if your installing them into a blind hole howndo you know if you squeezed it enough? Too much and you will break the die.
I did not know this tool existed before this video, and I wish I had. I could have used this on countless projects. What is the thinnest gauge metal these would work with? Would it work with HDF (hardboard) panel?
Great video! The music was excruciating at times though. Cheers
Thanks well presented video..
Needed this for installing some new speakers in my daughters car
Thanks mate cheers!
All the other nut riveter videos on RUclips are complete shit compared to this video! It’s very clear instructions and thorough. You touched on every point dealing with the use of this tool! A+++!
Ah thanks mate 🤘👍 I try to make it comprehensive without being over the top I tend to waffle haha
hi! thank you so much for the video. i have a question.
ive been using rivet nuts for light duty applications, say like mounting the number plate , or a hinge.
but, can i use this for heavy duty industrial applications, like say to attach legs for a table that takes 1000kgs on it. where i would put the screw horizontally, and the screw is loaded in the shear mode.
Thank you,super!!!
Thanks mate.👏🤟🤘✌️💪👍👊
Good video, very informative
Thanks mate 👍🏿
I have that exact same tool. It came in a very nice case. Major problem: Too much money was spent on the case they couldn't afford the paperwork to show how to use the tool. You did a good job on filling that shortcoming. What is the purpose of the yellow scale on the tool?
Basically a depth gauge, shows how far the nut is crushed. Unsure how accurate etc, personally I don't really use
Helpful video, bit long to get to the good stuff but helpful
Cheers mate
Brilliant, thankyou
👌👌
i might suggest that you talk about dissimiliar metal issues and also how to make the connection water tight.. this is a very popular connector in the playground business and as such i have made my mistakes,,, like cross threading a bolt causing the rivnut to hopelessly spin... and how to remedy such a situation... It is a great teaching video !
can this system be used with washers when securing to plastic?
Thank you.
Thankhz for sharing. Wholeness n Essence of Love ((-;
Will this work on fibre glass sheets? And how do you know when to stop pulling? Thanks
How about describing the feeling of how you know when the rivet nut is tight enough. Very rarely do we have the opportunity to see the other side to look at the back of the rivet nut. I was just doing this and for some reason I had to keep on tightening the “handily turntable thing“ that you were talking about for the rivet nut to grab. How about explaining that; where it’s supposed to be at the start of the operation.
I got the gun version bc it’s easier to use in cramped spaces this really helped out thanks👌🏻
Great video and thankyou. Is there a minimum thicknesses that they crimp onto? Such as would they work on a small gauge copper sheet or brass?
Cheers. They're meant for 6mm wire, the wire I used was a little smaller as I didn't have any thicker at the time. I wouldn't be going too thin, maybe 4mm max. If wanting smaller I would go to a different type of connector like deutsch plugs etc
You can check out different rivet nuts as they have different riveting thicknesses. Some will go from 0.5mm. the multi pack assorted versions tend to be cheaper ones and not so accommodating.
I needed to drill out a hole on my jeep fender to install one of these inserts for an arb twin air compressor. Someone used this tool in stead an I assume put in the wrong size insert. It was not the one supplied by arb. So after putting in the screw he also supplied, it screwed in maybe a quarter of the way and the insert turned with the screw. I could get the screw out as everything turns together. I dremeled the head off the screw so I could uninstall the compressor bracket. How do I remove the insert and the headless screw?
will a rivnut hold as well as a nut and washer would? I'm concerned about the rivnut popping out in a high stress attachment
I was hoping you would touch on yow to adjust the plunge/stroke depth on this tool. Thats what the little gauge on the bottom is for. Its possible to damage the rivet nuts themselves if you dont have this setup properly and you pull beyond the crush capacity of the inserted riv nut thereby essentially rendering that installed nut useless bc the threads have been destroyed
Yes you're correct, I usually just tread right down with the tool at max open, then insert full close, open 1/2 twist, compress again and perfect every time 👍 If you go too far it pulls the whole cylinder out of whack to the point you can't thread anything as you say
Thank you for the clear video. I purchased the same tool, however the die that I used are very easily bent causing al consequent rivet nuts to crooked. Any idea why this happens and how I can prevent it. I did make sure that the rivet nuts I use are suitable for the thickness of the material. Thanks in advance for you're reply!
Hey Nino, hmm haven't had any issues with mine and have used it A LOT... Wondering if it was faulty in some way?
@@VideoShowMeHow Thanks for you're reply! That might indeed be the case, the company I bought it from will send me a new one so we will see. I was just wondering if i might be doing something wrong. However as far as I know I do exactly what you do in you're video
Thanks.
Hey Adam,
Thanks for all your videos, they're brilliant!
Got a question regarding rivnuts...
Would they be suitable to fix down a fridge slide and a potable battery dock in the back of the tub?
I do a bit of 4x4ing, no crazy stuff, just getting from A to B.
They seem like the best and easiest fixing option.
Cheers
Ben
Hey Ben, you could however would consider - are you going into a tub liner or the tub itself? Tub itself would be fine at a couple of points, tub liner may not be the strongest to hold with 4x4.. Also if tub liner just remember you'd have the back part of the rivnuts potentially scratching up your actual tub
@@VideoShowMeHow thanks for info mate,
Yeah have tub liner, I was thinking of cutting it out where fixings/ bractets will go, then semi try to make it neat and seal up again.
I'll have to have a plan and think.
Thank you!
After I saw your video, I bought a rivetnut tool, yato brand, it haven't arrive yet, but I was wondering how thick or thin should be the sheet plate in order to insert a rivet nut properly? I suppose it can't be too thick/thin. What do you think? Thanks.
It really depends on the application and rivnuts themselves. I've used on a couple mm to 5-6 mm
Rivnuts do work on curved surfaces, have a look at any bicycle, they are used for accessories like drink bottle holders. Good explanation however I just used two M6 rivnuts on my bike after watching.
Great video. I'm curious if these would work in materials when the nutzert doesn't protrude out the other end, like for instance embedding it in a 2x4 piece of wood. Would it still crush and expand into the wood or would it just smash and not grab. Have you tried this?
Thanks Lee 👍 I haven't may be worth a shot my bets would be on it not being that effective though. If you're after a thread in timber you can use t nuts, have used these before to good effect. Hope this helps!
@@VideoShowMeHow I'll take a look at those. I'm actually going into composite fiberglass on a boat - but the T nuts might still be the best option. Thanks for the video and updates!
Welcome, good luck!
Is there a way to get the flush side of the nut on the inside of the metal? I have little clearance inside.
No not that I'm aware of with these in afraid
