Cordless Drill Electric Rivet Gun Adapter Rivet Nut Drill Adapter Kit Including 10 Mandrel and 50Pcs Assorted Rivet Nuts, Rugged Carrying Case

This product seems great in concept, however, the lack of instructions with the product make it very hard to use if you've never used something like this before. I encourage you to look up videos before using.Additionally, my set came with a defective M5 mandrel. It wouldn't thread the rivnut all the way which lead to the rivnut stripping when I tried applying it. This is the main reason why it gets 3 stars. I've contacted the seller to see if they can provide me with a new M5 mandrel. If they do, I will update this review with this information and adjust the rating accordingly.UPDATE: The seller was able to send me a new M5 mandrel without issue. I was also able to successfully use other sized mandrels in the set without issue so this may have just been a fluke of that specific one.

Time and body saver. No more awkward body positions for what feels like forever because of the position. Also good for fixing lazy manufacturing practices.

Seems like a well made product, but I was able to set exactly six rivet nuts before it gave up the ghost. Presumably I did something wrong, but since the "User Manual" doesn't contain any actual usage instructions, I'm at a loss as to what I may have done wrong. The User Manual does include a parts drawing, so I was able to identify that it was the 'hex shank driving shaft' that became stripped and rendered the tool useless.The manual also included an email address for product support, so I reached out to them. It took a few days, but they responded and asked that I provide some photos and my Amazon order number, which I did. Then nothing. I sent a follow-up email about 10 days later, but now another 10 days have passed and still no response.I can't recommend this tool or this company.This could be a 4 or 5-star review if the company had simply included usage instructions (with a warning or what not to do to cause stripping of the driver shaft) and if they had followed up on the support.Since I had to keep going on my project, I purchased this manual-style rivet nut setter and have been very happy with it: https://a.co/d/9E40oP3

For rivet nuts, I previously used a small 11-inch rivnut crimping tool. That crimper was small, and too weak to set an M8 aluminum rivnut, and too weak for ANY stainless steel rivnut. I got it because it was cheap, and "did the job" for a DIY project, but ultimately, I hated how that tool was so hard to use, and I got mixed results.This new type of rivnut tool uses the torque of a drill to set the rivnut. It's much stronger than my small 11" crimper, and is also much stronger than a regular 14" crimper. It doesn't turn the nut while setting it, but just provides a steady strong pull on the nut. It has a smaller case and easy to store than the handle crimper.There's the one from AstroPneumatic, which is solid by pricey, but this cheapchinese immitation is pretty good.

It took me a couple of rivers to figure out how to use it. The most important thing - you need to thread on rivet onto the attachment ALL THE WAY. all threads on the river need to be engaged or it will stop the river threads, and attachment threads as well. I wish attachment we made out of stronger stuff. The way it is, after a couple of different of rivers you could see threads wearing out. A couple dozen more and it's written out completely. But, if you make sure that every rivet is screwed in all the way, they would last longer. Another point- stop the tool before it starts stripping rivet. Once you feel strong enough tork - you're done.But in the end- it's useful to. Makes installing rivers much easier and faster, one you get the hang of it.

Either I received a previously used and damaged product or this is a cheaply made product. The drive shaft seems to have a slight bend to it so it wants to move from side to side as you try to set the rivet nut. The mandrels are made out of soft metal and as a result smaller size mandrels last only a handful of time as the rivet nut strip the threads on them before they are set even on lowest torque settings. I'm pretty sure that is the reason why the smaller metric mandrels seem to be always out of stock. I went back and looked at the product demonstration video they have on Amazon and noticed that even in their own video the second rivenut didn't set when he pulled away the tool.

Use it all the time works awesome

I tried all the suggestions how to set rivet nuts without a tool specifically made for that purpose. I didn't have success with any of them. I saw this tool on Amazon and decided to purchase it based on the Amazon reviews & Youtube videos . This tool does what it is designed to do with great efficiency. It appears to be well made, the aluminum housing feels solid and comfortable to hold. I set 2 1/4x20 rivet nuts with my 18VDC battery operated DeWalt drill. It did a great job without bogged the drill down. I set my clutch to 17 & it seemed set the nut correctly without over tightening it. I put a 1/4 bolt in the nut and tightened it down very tight. The nut never showed any signs of slipping.
