Rivet nut hand tool
November 1st 2007

MEMFast has launched its own hand tool for the installation of rivet nuts and rivet studs. Specifically designed for the smaller user and workshop, the tool can install M3 to M10 rivet nuts and M4 to M8 rivet studs. Each size of fastener has its own installation kit comprising collar and screw and all fastener materials including aluminium, steel and stainless steel can be accommodated. Supplied partly assembled in a clear plastic two part box measuring only 140mm x 50mm square, the tool can be fully assembled and installation kit attached in less than 30 seconds.

The action of the tool is spin/spin and the user simply attaches the correct screw to the end of the spindle, inserts it into the barrel, tightens the plastic nut into the barrel, connects the outer collar and the tool is ready to use.

If extra torque is needed there is a 10mm hex drive protruding from the knurled knob to which a standard open ended or ring spanner can be attached.
