10 out of 10 for making a video that is done with no B/S just straight out ; no nonsense easy understood details much appreciated from down under in Australia .Cheers
Best I've seen so far, most people over complicate things. I have 2 rivnut tools and they work great but sometimes you just can't get them into a tight spot. Sorry but I'm stealing your idea!
If you only knew how many specialty tools I had to come up with in the Air Force to install these rivnuts for our Sheet Metal Shop. I was an aircraft Machinist for over 35 years in the USAF. Aircraft, so called engineers come up with all kinds of stupid ideas with never thinking the parts will need replacing or considering maintenance. I've seen rivnuts, bushings and many other parts that are installed before other air frame peaces are installed. Basically the build the aircraft around that installed part. Lockheed is the worst and I think their designers/engineers love coming up with impossible situations for maintenance. There was one time where we had to get authorization to cut a hole in a section of a wing to get at a part. A depot teem came out to help and design a panel for the access. It later became a modification that could be done by Field Maintenance Units. Thing is, many of today's car manufactures are doing the same things. Parts in some places i can't get my hand into. They are even trying to make the design and tooling a propitiatory item available only to the dealers maintenance shops. In other words, they own it and the outside mechanic shops or you can't have one. just another way to make sure you need to take your vehicle to the Dealer for repairs. But now they want you to take it to them for the life of the car. Anything to squeeze more money out of you and they have become greedy bastards. They are even trying to say that you might have bought the vehicle, but you do not own it. They own it and all the rights to that vehicle. And they wonder why I still drive a 1965 Corvair, a 68 Camaro and a 67 S-10 Pickup.
@@EIBBOR2654 Volvo heavy truck is about as bad as it comes when you are talking about making something difficult to work on. If there is a difficult way that will make you want to take it to the dealer and an easy way that would actually save money in production, they will pick difficult.
@@cbmech2563 I know what you mean about the Volvo cars and trucks. I had a friend that worked on them and I can't ever remember a conversation with him involving a Volvo that didn't have many expletives about how difficult they were to work on. The problem with the F-16 and Fighter aircraft in general, is the room you have to work in. So they stuff things in the tightest places that you would think nothing would fit. Then they wouldn't want to take anything out of your way so you can get to it because it would cause more work for that shop or worse, it would involve another shop to remove that part. It was just crazy tight places. As for vehicles, if you are still working on them, it might about to become even worse. The manufactures are now trying to claim the rights to the tools and the vehicles. They do not want to give the tools to the mechanics outside of the dealerships. They are trying to pull what the computer program people do with their stuff.
@@EIBBOR2654 I wonder what happened with the Truck Maintenance Council, they are the ones that forced open source programs on the engine manufacturers back in the 90s, and then they seemed to disappear 😥. The end users need to get together and put a stop to this bull shit.
@@cbmech2563 Yes they do! I do not know if they can do this, but the auto manufactures have gotten real uppity over the last few years. When they make a bad car or truck, they do not want to own up to it or fix the problems unless forced to. But they now want to make their cars, sell them to you, but you really will not own it. They are starting to push this corporate proprietary crap. It started first with the special tooling needed to work on specially designed parts so that that someone can't work on the car at home or take it to any other mechanic other than the dealership. But now they are saying that the entire vehicle is proprietary. They designed it, they did all the testing, they designed all the parts or bought the license to use or make the parts, they own the car computer program or license it's use, so now they are trying to float the idea of a person buying a license to operate the vehicle. Much like you buy a license to use a program on a computer. As it is now, on some cars, I think they can turn off the car if you skip payments. But I've only heard that and haven't confirmed it. But I know they can do that with On Star if the vehicle is stolen, so it wouldn't be something too far out for them to do. This has all come about because of the self driving cars. I can't stand that idea or being forced to own one. With that type of car, they could schedule it in for warranty work and you walk out to find the car is gone or there is a different car in your yard. That is another reason I only buy manual shift cars, what use to be called a standard transmission. They are more fun to drive anyway and they rarely get stolen today because the younger generations got lazy and do not want to learn how to shift a car. But it is the younger generation that is driving the self driven cars and the politicians and safety boards. If that is what vehicles become, you might as well use a bus, a taxi or pay for the service you need a vehicle for, be it for travel, going to the store or hauling supplies or cargo. Kind of like living in a city back in 1900. You wanted to go somewhere you called on a horse drawn carriage to pick you up and take you there and back home. I knew this would come when they started putting computers in cars. That is why the big push is going on for this 5G high speed network. It is not for communications like for cellphones or internet as you would think. It is for super high speed communications with self driven vehicles. And to a point, internet as computers are going the way of the cellphone, you will not download a program to operate a computer, it will happen through the 5G or better network. That way only the owning company has access to the program codes. That is what they want. It could be that all mechanics will have to work for a dealership one day. There will be no independent shops, or damn few of them for the older cars that one day will be gone. The only reason these companies would do this is because they have gotten greedy beyond belief. They want every penny they can squeeze out of you and the younger generation is letting them walk all over them. It's just crazy with what is being written and spoken now about these proprietary items. It's almost like if you take a dump, there would be 100 corporations that would tell you that you do not own the rights to your own turd, because it was made from their proprietary items you ate. I'm a machinist, some of the things I have to work on are proprietary items and we have to protect it like it is some top secret military project. I understand some of the reasoning for a new part designed for a Submarine. But a bushing for a car? Well, as it is now, my job will be a lost skill one day. With the 3D printers you will not need machinist or big factories anymore. And they will own the program and process to make the parts too. Maybe one day it will be like an old Astro Boy cartoon I saw as a kid, no one worked anymore. The machines did all the work and designed all the things necessary to live. Another version of the classic book 1984. Or one of the original Star Trek episodes where the machines no longer need the humans.
From all the other ideas out there for these rivnuts this one is the best, without a doubt, even better than the tools itself, well done budy, I’m making one today, heck yeahhhhh
Use a little greese/oil on the threads. The proper tools pull the nut without twisting. This method risks thread damage/stress from the extra friction. Some lube on the thread should mitigate this.
I second both your comments. Iv done a few without the gun and they are never as nice as with it. Had to drill a couple out over the years too from not using the gun. If it fits in the space you’ve got. Use a gun.
superb idea , thanks for sharing. only issue I see is that rivnuts are generally used on very lightweight materials which may get shredded when the impact driver rotates.
The only thing I would change is grinding / filing a series of groves to make some teeth at the face of the riv-nut to keep it from spinning. Of course you also need various sizes of the tool to match your work, but you could put a second tool on the other end of the same handle. Oh, working tip: add a drop of oil to the bolt which will allow better tightening without fear of ruining the threads. The outside of the riv-nut should be free of lube during the installation process so it grips easier.
Yeah I should of really but it works really well and works everytime I have not had any issues with the threads or how its crushes the rivnut I ended up making a full set but instead of welding the handle on I just left it and use a pair of mole grips it actually works better I think as you can angle the grips to suit were you installing the rivnut hope that makes sense all the best
Tack welding the Rivnut is a good idea if what you are mounting isn’t affected by the uneven surface after the weld. If you’re a good welder, I’m still learning, I bet you could tack the Rivnut and still have a flat mounting surface.
Shit that insert looks better secured than my Mac tool insert tool has done for me AND don't have to worry bout breaking screw or getting stuck 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the idea, looks like something I would make (have a machine shop at home). How about separate tool heads for different size riv-nuts that use a detachable handle? Could carry in small case?
I ended up making a full set upto m12 but did not put an handle on them and I simply use a pair of mole grips it makes storing them and the rivnuts in a case a lot easier and also using a pair of mole grips have come in handy when I have had to install them in funny locations and have had to hole them on an angle 😀
@@garyxperia7725 Gary, thanks for the reply, never heard of Mole Grips before, had to do a search to see what they were. I'v always called them channel locks. How about providing pix of your pieces to show folks what you have made. Thanks again for your inspiration on the tools.
Only one issue with this - nothing to compensate for the scenario when the rivnut spins inside the hole at the same time as you’re trying to crush it. I’ve seen this happen quite a few times. You need to add a few star/shake washers to the underneath side of the tool, to grip the rim of the rivnut, and not allow it to spin.
Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Reed Mohammed I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
observation: Why do you need the nice hand-made tool holder? Seems you could install the specialty nut using just the impact. Maybe I need to read below. . . .
To address a comment about friction damaging thread,you think adding a bearing top of home made tool cylinder would alleviate that? It could be recessed and pressed in maybe? Like to try this for old jeep skid plate in frame stripped out nuts.
there's 2 ways to build the DIY tool, your way uses a free spinning collar, it used the bolt head as the stopper to crush the rivnut, the 2nd method is use a threaded coupler nut or just a regular nut, that method uses the threads on the nut as the stopper to crush the rivnut. anyways, whichever way you use a trick I will be using is tack weld the top of the rivnut or plus nut, it will never strip out, also your tool will work with plusnuts/ crossnuts, those are stronger than rivnuts as long as you will tack weld the top
thats great but is it possible to install the rivnut the opposite way meaning the flat part of the nut is inserted within the square tube. reason being is to enable telescopic usage, the rivnut would hold the tightening bolt, thank you in advance
But what size rivnut needs a 13mm hole? What size bolt will that rivnut take? How about a tutorial telling us, what size hole for different rivnuts and what size bolt that rivnut fits.
So you have to make a jig for each diameter bolt? Sounds time consuming and impractical. Not to mention for a lot of applications you won't have room to use the impact wrench and T handle jig.
I keep reading horror stories of how the rivnuts end up spinning when going to remove the bolt. Some claim it's due to corrosion, improper installation, or over tightening the bolt. In your opinion, if installed correctly, would this be a concern? Looks like you really torqued the bolt down, and it backed out just fine.
The issue some people into is the collar of the outside of the nut not having groves to help grip the metal. Some riv-nuts are just completely smooth. You want ribbed buts or groves to help the riv-but grab the metal when you crimp it.
@@spydergs07 Alot of them use a odd size drill bit. Which helps alot. To small.. you will never get it in. To large it will never grip and if you do get it to squash it may not hold. Also note the proper torque for fastner.. don't exceed.
@@spydergs07 I have not had any issues I find that if the drill bit has slightly drilled a loose fit I just tend to use the tool which usually grips regardless but if it does spin all you have to do is angle the tool so the nut can bite and it will straighten itself out
Isn’t You Tube marvellous, I was about to spend £75 on a tool I would use about 10 times. Has any one put eye bolts in a van to hold Tie downs .? ( For a Harley Davidson!). Thank you!
I've purchased the correct tool from tool trucks . But gota tell ya. This is far more : cost effiecient, easy to make , it works great the torque you apply you can't get that from the hand version of riveter tool
The rivnut should be crushed axially and not twisted. So don't drive in the threads in the rivnut to pull the rivnut to crush. Best method i found (and cheapest) is a long bolt and a washer* and a nut. Insert rivnut-washer*-nut-bolt (bolt goes all the way to the rivnut ofc) Hold the bolt from twisting (from the head with the right socket/allen or whetever bolt you use) and tighten the nut. The nut tighten against a washer* (or a set of washers greased so they can rotate against the not and not the rivnut or a piece of flatbar so you can hold on it against rotation) and pulls the threaded part of the bolt in the rivnut and crushes the rivnut without any spin in the threaded section of the rivnut. For corect install: the rivnut has to be pressed against the material with the hole the rivnut must not rotate (the top part of the rivnut has to rest against a nonspinning washer) Rivnut has to be crushed by pulling the threaded section of the rivnut All condition can be done if the bolt used can be also pressed (with a screwdriver) - i used a hex head bolt and a socket on a screwdriver handle to push on the bolt to keep the rivnut seated while the bolt is held from spinning. Also the bolt axis is important to keep the rivnut well aligned. Instead of a normal washer i've used a a section of a flatbar with a hole closer to one end and this creates a handle so i could held the flatbar against spinning (this flatbar rests against the top of rivnut). And with the third hand you tighten the nut above the flatbar. (in reality i've clamped the flatbar to the piece i was rivnutting so i don't need the 3rd hand hard to find).

From all the other ideas out there for these rivnuts this one is the best, without a doubt, even better than the tools itself, well done budy, I’m making one today, heck yeahhhhh
I've seen simpler ones using basic hands tools. This had a custom tool
Where have you been all my life? Everyone told me this would never work that way. And here you are doing it.
definitely the best of the DIY's I've seen. Solid, good work. Will copy this one
Yours is the simplest yest. No apparent need to install bolt and nut first and tighten nut. kudos.
Best solution I've seen yet. Way cheaper than the rivnut tools out there🙏
Genious!! So simple, so effective, so logical. Amazing actually; considering tools out there that do the same task and can be expensive.
I agree great idea, but someone above pointed out this way does risk damaging the thread so use a little lube.
Great idea mate 😁 saves a lot of money those nutsert guns aren't cheap
Damn, such a smart idea and cheaper than using the nutsert tool. Thanks
Use a little greese/oil on the threads.
The proper tools pull the nut without twisting. This method risks thread damage/stress from the extra friction. Some lube on the thread should mitigate this.
Beat me to it. Should just use a stud and a hardened nut.
I second both your comments. Iv done a few without the gun and they are never as nice as with it. Had to drill a couple out over the years too from not using the gun. If it fits in the space you’ve got. Use a gun.
I use a bolt but I tighten it with a nut. So the nut is what spins pulling the whole assembly away from the surface, riveting the thing.
Well, you just saved me $80 in tools today. Thanks 😁.
peccato che non si puo dare un voto ai video pubblicati ma questo è da 110 e lode, spettacolare in tutti i senzi, la miglior idea vista fra tutte.
Awesome, I gave up using large rivenuts cause my hand wasn't strong enough to squeeze the rivenut tool. Thanks, so simple too.
Nice! I do it in a similar kind but with an oversized nut instead of your tool and a lockwasher between the nutsert and nut. Works great
superb idea , thanks for sharing.
only issue I see is that rivnuts are generally used on very lightweight materials which may get shredded when the impact driver rotates.
Thanks! Saved me $40+ dollar on having to purchase a rivet nut tool.
Nice ,I use them all the time at work ,that will make it easier for me now ,thanks

Thank you for the tool idea, I never could use the nutset tool with out breaking the tool, thanks again
It is a excellent idea and it works perfectly, thank you so much.
that's the business thanks for making this video.
I expected this method to ruin the thread, but apparently it doesn't. Great!
It did right at the end he tightened it till it ALMOST stripped it out. Those threads are fked
Easy but I think a flush fit between two surfaces is pretty important.
Fantastic method! Nice and short video. Just wish you showed the crushed lip from underneath better. Thanks 🙏
Yeah I should of really but it works really well and works everytime I have not had any issues with the threads or how its crushes the rivnut I ended up making a full set but instead of welding the handle on I just left it and use a pair of mole grips it actually works better I think as you can angle the grips to suit were you installing the rivnut hope that makes sense all the best

One could also “dimple it”. On the underside.

Лучшее ручное приспособление для таких гаек.
Outstanding !!!
Dude, nice, we have actual tool for this in work, but its very slow to use.
I'm just wondering why you didn't use reverse on your impact tool the first time you took the bolt out.
Maybe he thought it would knock the rivnut loose?
@@brentsido8822 Maybe. I've seen others back it out with their impact tool.
Or maybe he wanted to show the rivnut doesn't bind up the bolt as well as show it's stability.
observation: Why do you need the nice hand-made tool holder? Seems you could install the specialty nut using just the impact. Maybe I need to read below. . . .
Su ejemplo es practico y genial Bs As Argentina
Good idea chief n best or save money
Be sure to use a good bolt; I picked up a 4.8 out of a pile of good ones I was using from my toolbox. Didn’t end well…
58 dislikes had just seen your video after creating their very complicated rivnut tool 😂😂😂

But what size rivnut needs a 13mm hole?
What size bolt will that rivnut take?
How about a tutorial telling us, what size hole for different rivnuts and what size bolt that rivnut fits.
Nice!
Thanks!
Hello how much torque needed for this? (How much torque in your impact driver)? I can see that the impact won't destroy the nutsert.
do they make one that fits flush?
Thanks
Too easy👍
Can this be use around solid steel?
How well does this work in thinner metal or in aluminum ?
Parabéns muito bom
So you have to make a jig for each diameter bolt? Sounds time consuming and impractical. Not to mention for a lot of applications you won't have room to use the impact wrench and T handle jig.
Are these nut serts reliable ? Looking to fabricate a water tank

I keep reading horror stories of how the rivnuts end up spinning when going to remove the bolt. Some claim it's due to corrosion, improper installation, or over tightening the bolt. In your opinion, if installed correctly, would this be a concern? Looks like you really torqued the bolt down, and it backed out just fine.
Hi Dan I have never had an issue installing them with this tool it really speeds up the process.
Probably on the smaller rivnuts.
The issue some people into is the collar of the outside of the nut not having groves to help grip the metal.
Some riv-nuts are just completely smooth. You want ribbed buts or groves to help the riv-but grab the metal when you crimp it.

Alot of them use a odd size drill bit. Which helps alot. To small.. you will never get it in. To large it will never grip and if you do get it to squash it may not hold. Also note the proper torque for fastner.. don't exceed.
@@spydergs07 I have not had any issues I find that if the drill bit has slightly drilled a loose fit I just tend to use the tool which usually grips regardless but if it does spin all you have to do is angle the tool so the nut can bite and it will straighten itself out
Isn’t You Tube marvellous, I was about to spend £75 on a tool I would use about 10 times.
Has any one put eye bolts in a van to hold Tie downs .? ( For a Harley Davidson!). Thank you!
I've purchased the correct tool from tool trucks .
But gota tell ya. This is far more : cost effiecient, easy to make , it works great the torque you apply you can't get that from the hand version of riveter tool
Why not unscrew the bolt with impact driver?
How can I avoid the twisting of the nut?
If the hole is 13 mm what rivet nut size did you use ? And is that the same size for the bolt going in ?
Hi 13mm hole drilled for a m10 rivnut insert to take a m10 bolt hope it helps
@@garyxperia7725 perfect ty
So how big should a hole be for specific rivet nut to be securely placed
What's the name of the tool you are using at the very beginning?
I'm confused. Why didn't you just put the driver in reverse to remove the bolt?
Why tool? tight hole and any tube or washers work.

The rivnut should be crushed axially and not twisted. So don't drive in the threads in the rivnut to pull the rivnut to crush.
Best method i found (and cheapest) is a long bolt and a washer* and a nut.
Insert rivnut-washer*-nut-bolt (bolt goes all the way to the rivnut ofc)
Hold the bolt from twisting (from the head with the right socket/allen or whetever bolt you use) and tighten the nut. The nut tighten against a washer* (or a set of washers greased so they can rotate against the not and not the rivnut or a piece of flatbar so you can hold on it against rotation) and pulls the threaded part of the bolt in the rivnut and crushes the rivnut without any spin in the threaded section of the rivnut.
For corect install:
the rivnut has to be pressed against the material with the hole
the rivnut must not rotate (the top part of the rivnut has to rest against a nonspinning washer)
Rivnut has to be crushed by pulling the threaded section of the rivnut
All condition can be done if the bolt used can be also pressed (with a screwdriver) - i used a hex head bolt and a socket on a screwdriver handle to push on the bolt to keep the rivnut seated while the bolt is held from spinning. Also the bolt axis is important to keep the rivnut well aligned. Instead of a normal washer i've used a a section of a flatbar with a hole closer to one end and this creates a handle so i could held the flatbar against spinning (this flatbar rests against the top of rivnut). And with the third hand you tighten the nut above the flatbar. (in reality i've clamped the flatbar to the piece i was rivnutting so i don't need the 3rd hand hard to find).
Sweeeeeet!
Rivnuts good in theory, until the bastard thing starts spinning in it’s hole
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice, what happen if you keep tighten? Btw on 3mm thickness i just do hole and thread for m8/m10.
