FAQs
Does this tool work with aluminum rivets?
Yes, this tool is designed for standard rivet nuts made of aluminum, steel, or stainless steel within the supported size range.
Can I use this for thick materials?
Rivet nut tools are generally designed for thin materials. If the material is too thick, the rivet nut will not have enough space to collapse properly.
What is the largest size supported?
The kit supports up to 3/8-16 and M10 sizes.
Are replacement mandrels available?
Yes, the mandrels are interchangeable. Check the Vevor catalog for specific replacement parts if a mandrel becomes damaged.
How do I know what size hole to drill?
Refer to the instructions or the rivet nut data sheet; usually, you want a hole size that is slightly larger than the rivet nut diameter for a slip-fit.
Is the carrying case included?
Yes, a durable carrying case is included to house the tool, mandrels, and the 70 included rivet nuts.
Troubleshooting
Rivet nut is spinning in the hole
The hole is likely too large. Use a drill bit that is closer to the recommended size for the specific rivet nut.
Mandrel is difficult to unscrew after installation
Ensure you have not over-compressed the rivet nut, which can bind the threads. Back off the pressure slightly before unscrewing.
Rivet nut is not collapsing properly
Check that the mandrel is fully seated and that the tool handle length provides enough leverage. Verify you are using the correct size mandrel for the nut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Select the appropriate mandrel from the 7 included sizes. Screw it firmly into the tool head. Adjust the stop nut as necessary to ensure proper compression of the rivet nut.
Compatibility: The tool is compatible with a wide range of thin-gauge materials including sheet metal, aluminum, and rigid plastics. Ensure your pre-drilled hole size matches the specifications for the rivet nut you are using to achieve a tight fit.
Care: Keep the threads of the mandrels lubricated with a light machine oil to prevent binding. After use, ensure the tool is cleaned of metal shavings, stored in the provided case, and kept in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
