I love this tool! Best rivet tool ever. If I am going to be a bit critical, the instructions could be a bit more detailed and slower. I had to play with the tool quite a bit before the instructions made sense. It also looks slightly different from the TR-21 that I have. But as far as rivet nuts there is nothing better than this.
Really well explained video. Many thanks!
At 30 seconds you said you would show how to install the rivSTUD. Wish you did. Great tool. So happy I bought it.
Sorry Paul, you are right! 😁 Here is a link to the rivstud installation video. ruclips.net/video/u8tDn1AzFfM/видео.html
Спасибо за видео. Очень наглядно.
I seem to have locked my new tool ,can someone advise me how to remove the mandrill.
Can we purchase M3 & M4 Mandrel bits ?.....In order to use M3 & M4 Rivnuts if required ?
Thanks for your question. We only have M5 and up. The mechanical advantage of this tool would lead to M3 and M4 mandrels breaking too easily and/or stripping the rivet nut's thread. For smaller sizes I find the plier style tools to be a safer bet.
@rivetlab, OK, thanks for responding....that makes sense, could you recommend a High Quality Rivnut Tool suitable for M3 to M4 Rivnuts (again compact in design for tight area use). Im Picking up your Ratching versions M5 - M12 version tommorow they look great, tight area use & look like their made to last. (Something that's not very common anymore, unfortunately) 🙄
@@oze-bikes4life663 The Gesipa GBM10 would have to be one of the best quality plier tools on the market. Made in Germany!
Cheers 🍻
Nice but what’s this cost? Pretty expensive for the average guy to use twice a year, then store in a toolbox. Most guys are better off with the bolt, nut ,washer model.
Cost is about $250 USD Ken. Probably no need to purchase for such occasional use but it's a good method to install and can set M12 stainless steel. Great value from that perspective.
If you are installing anything that relies on a M8-M12 bolt, you want a proper tool. Apart from safety issues, ‘a stripped bolt can turn a 30 min job into a 3 day nightmare’ applies here too. Try drilling out a damaged rivnut that hasn’t set and is spinning freely.
This is an industrial grade tool. You can get much cheaper clones if you are an occasional home user, and they are fine. You don’t need a ratchet tool for general use, as you can get lever handle models that tend to be cheaper still. A ratchet is good in cars or anywhere with constrained space though.
Lastly, this kit is pricy, but it comes with a M5 mandrel. All the cheaper ratchet kits are M6 or M8 up. M5 stainless is my most used, so the legit tool was good value for money for me vs buying a cheap M3-M5 and a M6-M12.
