I recently purchased the style that runs as a drill attachment. The beauty of the hand one you showed and the drill attachment one is they only pull on the mandrel. They do not rely on low/inconsistent friction of the threads as they pull by turning the "bolt" mandrel much like your DIY method does. I have also used the DIY method; however, I did not use a washer I just took the side of the nut facing the rivnut and roughened it with very course sand paper.
I've been a rivnut fan for a while - that pneumatic gun is schweeet!
Your videos are always so helpful!!! Perfect video to share to explain what RivNuts are to people who have never heard of them!!
That was an awesome video. Made it so simple!!
Awesome, just learnt somthing thanks!
They make a different style of the lever operated version. Our Makerspace has one that loads just by opening the levers, it spins the threaded portion making it quicker to get a rivet nut on. Also I used a couple other ways as well too. A power steering pump puller has a bearing setup that works well. Another way was 2 pieces of plate & used 3 bolts. 2 of the bolts threaded into the plate & the 3rd into the rivet nut. Tighten the 2 bolts & it would expand the rivet nut. I made this version before finding the power steering trick. This was in probably 2008.
Thanks Dan
Thank you very much for this video
I want to get a pneumatic gun with mandrel to fit existing holes in my Sprinter van
When I measured the holes it looked as though they were close to 8mm which seemed to be about an M5 but most gun included the one you referred to are either down to 1/4 or M6
Which size are you using?
Thanks
Cool video man, I'm from Brazil, I use a tool similar to your pneumatics. I have a question, is the tip screw not the problem? Does the thread not break? my problem here is this.
The DIY method at 2:18 did not end with a good front side seal because the sheet metal was too thin and waving a lot. Against a thicker metal, the result will be better for the DIY method.
As soon as I saw that metal-tissue thin I didn't even care what this guy had to say.
LOL. That is my shop now! haha Where did you guys move? Still in scappoose?
Thank you.
Do you know if the gun would work with the mollys that come with adrian steel products?
Would you recommend a second pass with the tool to ensure a tight crimp? Or would that likely cause issues?

do you use it for plus nuts? why the riv nuts instead of plus nuts?
Can you attach these to the outside skin of the van?
we have the same gun- have you tried it with plus nuts?
What is the pneumatic riv nut gun that you're using? And you know some close-ups would be awesome. Just saying.
Really like the pneumatic but you only get 3 sizes with it, then you have to by a whole kit to get other sizes? Can you order just the mandrels from someone?
I haven’t found any mandrels, I haven’t really looked either, sorry I couldn’t help more.
That pneumatic sure looks like a much better solution than the big bolt-cutter looking tool like I have. I just hate dragging around air hoses. Is anyone making a battery version?
milwaukee and dewalt have one
@@fredoswego I didn't look at dewalt, because I don't own of their stuff. But I searched and can't find anything but a regular rivet gun from Milwaukee
Sound is everything when demonstrating. This tool is LOUD
What you really need instead of a LOOSE NUT, is a NUT threaded onto the bolt with two flat washers after. Thread rivnut onto the bolt, hold bolt head with a wrench while using another wrench to turn the NUT clockwise as if to tighten and draw bolt in while collapsing the rivenut while NOT putting stress on the threads of the rivnut or bolt. Doing it like in this video is the lazy man's way. IF you need to do a LOT of rivnut, invest in the tool. The bolt/nut trick is for tight places most tools won't fit in, like corners or tight spaces.
Another weirdo on RUclips who thinks that his way is THE way. This platform used to be good.
Can you send link for air 0peratored please

Battery powered would be better. No compressor or air hose
