- Review of Astro rivnut tool and my little home made tool that does the same thing... better. I'm sure there are even better solutions, and I encourage anyone with a better design to leave details in the comments. No ego here, just trying to help out.

Dont drill the hole too big using a home made tool. With the pneumatic tool, its actually pressing the splines of the rivnut into the metal to help keep it from spinning when tightening a fastener, along with the crimping from underneath. A home made tool wont give the bite into the metal like a pneumatic tool will.
Nathan, I followed your method to the T, and was able to install a rivet nut on my Mustang perfectly using hardware I had in the garage. No impact needed, just did everything by hand and the rivet nut is solid. You helped me out, thanks!!
Very good idea! Unfortunately, I spent the whole video waiting for a real-life demo that never came :-(
After going through the pain of having the rivnut spin inside the hold during install, I resorted to tack welding the head to the sheet metal, then I found this video and finished a dozen of them in the time it took me to finish one before. You sir are a lifesaver. Drilling the nut oversize was brilliant.
Thank you for posting this vid. It is absolutely ingenious and worked beautifully.
awesome, never needed to use these, But I think I can find uses now..... good video, thx for sharing
Great video ! Thank you for doing the torque testing for us.....that's the part of the Riv nut installation you never hear about......good job!
Tried it out... thanks for this. Just saved me a $60 purchase
This one is the best of all I have watch on utube. Thank You for sharing.
Great Idea! - if I'd have seen your video or thought of the idea I would have skipped buying the factory tool - thank you
I have been looking for a way to do this, and I just could not bring myself to buy a single purpose tool that cost that much, even the lower cost non-powered versions. Opening up the ID on a nut made to go on that bolt, and then using it on an old wrench of that same size was genius! The only enhancement that I would suggest would be a small thrust washer on the top of the setup to relieve the induced rotating stress as the rivnut cinches up. Thanks for posting the video.
F’ing genius. Thanks for saving me big money on a tool I’ll use only once.
Super idea... Wish you would have done the demo of actually doing it on film.... Great idea though. I will definitely get busy and make my own...
Perhaps adding a threaded nut would help. you hold the bolt steady using a wrench. then apply torque on the threaded nut to "pull" the bolt upwards and against the rivet head.
Im watching this as im looking at my brand new hand type from ebay, wish i saw this first! Thanks.
Great video! I just received a "cheap" rivnut tool today and the female mandrel threads were no good so it was returned today too!
WOW, really nice! I don't have welding tools, BUT I can made the loose version. Very cool, and very cheap!
I don't think I would ever trust a rivnut on a suspension bolt, they make flanged nuts, I would drill the hole out and weld one into the hole before I would trust a rivnut. I like them for attaching sheet metal and non stressed parts tho.
Very interesting idea. I will definitely try it. Thank you sir for sharing. Cheers 👍👍
Hi Nathan, I've been using thread-locker liquids for years. The medium is my go-to, but on rivet nuts, I use a drop of the permanent type. Not only does it prevent spinout, but it also helps with corrosion between the nut & frame. Really like your solution.
