Troubleshooting
Rivet nut does not set properly
Ensure you are using the correct size mandrel and rivet nut. Check that the rivet nut is fully seated on the mandrel before insertion. Apply consistent, full pressure with the handles.
Tool is difficult to squeeze
Lubricate the pivot points and moving parts of the handles. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Check if the rivet nut size is too large for the material thickness or if excessive force is being applied.
Mandrel is stuck or difficult to remove
Ensure the rivet nut was fully set. Try wiggling the handles slightly while twisting to disengage the mandrel. Clean the mandrel threads.
Poor grip of rivet nut after setting
Verify the material thickness is appropriate for the rivet nut size. Ensure the hole diameter is correct for the rivet nut. Re-attempt setting with firm, consistent pressure.
