Product description
What's in the box
This kit contains one manual rivet nut installation tool plus 420 imperial-thread rivet nuts in five sizes: 80 pieces of 6-32, 70 pieces of 8-32, 120 pieces of 10-24, 110 pieces of 1/4-20, and 40 pieces of 5/16-18. Everything is organized inside a sturdy compartmented case with labeled sections and a brief user guide.
Construction and finish
The hand tool is made from hardened steel for durability, while the threaded inserts are carbon steel with a galvanized finish to resist rust during storage and use. The inserts have a knurled, flat-head-style body so they bite into thin materials and reduce rotation after installation.
How it’s used
Select the rivet nut that matches your bolt thread, mount the appropriate mandrel on the manual tool, insert the nut into the prepared hole, and squeeze the handles to compress the insert against the sheet or panel. The kit works for furniture repairs, automotive and marine fixtures, appliance panels, sheet-metal assemblies and other projects where a strong, embedded thread is needed.
Packaging and support
The metal inserts are kept in a plastic storage box with transparent lid segments and printed size indicators for quick selection. The manufacturer provides after-sales assistance and guidance if problems arise, with contact options for troubleshooting and replacement support.

Good overall, threads need attention
Used it several times with good results. Some threads arrive a bit rough and benefit from a quick clean and light grease, but otherwise a useful kit.

All pullers included and easy to use
Includes mandrels for every size and operates like a pop-rivet puller. Simple to operate and performs reliably.

Exactly the SAE set I needed
Found the imperial sizes I lacked and the kit worked right away. Followed the included instructions and the inserts set cleanly. Very satisfied and would suggest it to others.

Effective but needs strong grip
Does the job reliably, but you must grip very tightly to fully compress the rivet nut. When squeezed firmly the inserts seat properly.

Works after a short learning curve
Handy once you figure the motion out. Performs well for basic jobs.

Solid selection but expect to squeeze hard
Good build and useful size range — fixed a grill and the inserts held without turning. The tool works, but the handles need a hard squeeze; my hand cramped after several installs. Ergonomics could be improved, but the kit is handy if you don’t mind exerting effort.

Didn’t fit my application
The tool I received wouldn’t accept the installation spindle I had, so I couldn’t use it. Contact with the maker took some time and I returned it in favor of a different model.
