Have been looking at different rivet guns and nut setters, and this is the best, no BS informative video of the 100 or so I've watched. Thank You!!!
Thanks Wanter, I use this weekly and love it, only issue is you can not get in tight places other than that it’s awesome! I considered the hydraulic, pistol grip, military nut setter but it’s very expensive!
I never saw rivet nuts until recently, and yours is the first time I saw them in use. Darn it, Ray, you're making me spend more of my son's inheritance. :)
Wes, These rivet nuts are great and have hundreds of uses and I am sure your son will understand the fact that Dad needs good tools for the shop that will someday be his, a long way down the road of coarse!
Thanks for showing it in action. Was curious when to stop on the pressure. The visual helps
Thanks Sean, The tool is plenty strong enough to break the tips so don't over do it! You just need a nice rolled over shoulder to hold the rivet nuts tight.
Great video. Very helpful.
Many Thanks!
They work great in DOM tubing as well. Used them on light poles for mounting plant hangers. Stainless rivnuts and zero problems.
Great info, I never thought to use them in pipe, 1001 uses!
We use rivnuts by the fistfull - thin wall square and rectangular tubing and sheet metal.
For years we have been converting harbor freight pneumatic rivet guns into pneumatic rivnut setters. Have some drawings someplace...
Now that I would be interested in, hit me up if you find them and I'll do a another HF upgrade/conversion video, giving you 100% credit for sharing!
Thanks Ray, you’re the harbor freight king. With a really cool belt sander
I try my friend! Stay tuned for the blast cabinet build, I think your really going to like it!
very helpful thanks
Out of passing interest... they told us in A&P school that it was BF Goodrich that came up with rivet nuts; for the installation of their rubber aircraft de-icing boots. They marketed them under the name 'BF Rivnuts'... and their installation tool was very similar to Astro Pneumatic offering shown.
Cool videos, Thanks!
Great information, Thanks for sharing! I did look at several tools in that price range and after speaking with a rep from Astro I was sold on them after she offered the 1452 over a more expensive model I was going to buy! Great Company!
Im wondering if they used any on the Goodrich blimp?
WOW ..That does 1/2 in nuts ..If I had projects to use this tool on I would buy one ...I may think of something to build just so I will get one
Yes, up to and including 1/2" rivet nuts and they are big, oh and stainless steel rivet nuts too!
I've set many of these, great buy here. Thanks for sharing. I'll bet the cabinet is going to see the use of this tool set.
Hey Mark, I did think it was a good buy as well and yes, will be using it on the blast cabinet build, just waiting on some parts from Tacoma Company to get started. I should be able to start videoing next week mid week sometime.
Just bought the Astro 1442 from Amazon with two xtra mandrels, just for mounting those removable wing nuts from my HF blast cabinet window😁👍👍.
It's a great tool that has many uses!
Excellent tool review, I think I found my birthday or Christmas gift.
Thank you, I think you need this tool now, you will thank me later, its got hundreds of uses!
Might be worth doing a second part to this video on the different types of rivnuts available? There are some counter-sunk ones that fit flush, some with a small key way to resist torque mechanically as well as with friction,different grip ranges and different materials. So many options!
Great point Andrew and that would make a great video! I do like the countersink rivet nuts, I guess I will have to start stocking up on the many different styles of rivet nuts and rivet studs! Thanks man!
Maybe ask Astro Tools for a sample pack of the various rivet nuts. Could be a simple sponsored video and get them some additional sales.
@@MikeBramm I would love to work with Astro Pneumatic, Family owned business for over 40 years with a awesome staff, does not get much better than that these days!
Ray's Garage just checked them out on the net,impressive range of great kit. The back up and support is all there and that's what really counts,in my humble opinion.
Absolutely, I will definitely be buying from Astro Pneumatic sometime real soon!
Thanks Ray! Well done video just the facts and straight to the point.
They are really handy. I also have one (don’t remember the name). I’m going to use it for the glass on my blast cabinet. Great review buddy. No wonder you didn’t answer you were busy today.
Hello Terry, Sorry buddy, I turn my phone off when I'm shooting and editing, you know I can't walk and chew gum at the same time... The early rivet nut guns were very good quality and very expensive, that's why I had the manual ones until now!
If you ever update this video, it'd be nice to also demo a plusnut:)
Hello Chris, Plusnuts are more forgiving and more secure than rivet nuts. I do not have any but have set them the same way as rivet nuts with great results. Thanks for adding this to the comments!
That's a reasonably priced tool. Great for thin wall tubing.
Thanks Barry, Another great use for this tool and rivet nuts!
Great review
Thank you!
Cool tool and great review Ray!!! Thanks. :)
Thanks Mike, I know they don't work on rotors or spindles but I'm sure you can find a use for them in other areas!
Thanks Ray!
I have that tool, But haven't used it yet. I just had to put one of those nuts in the other day, but it was in a location where I couldn't use the tool.
That's where the manual mandrels come in handy, so I better keep them!
@@RaysGarage Where did you get the manual mandrels?
Those are better than regular sheet metal screws if the meed to remove the screws is more than just a few times. Sheet metal screws are notorious for stripping out. I have wished for something like this several times.
For sure, these things are awesome, really strong too!
Very cool Ray, actually never seen those before !
You need to add one to your collection, very handy tool and sometime necessary with blind holes!
@@RaysGarage Curious what kind of projects you would use the rivet nuts on ?
Blind holes, round or square tubing, any thin wall you can drill a hole in that needs threads in it. Big in the automotive industry as well.
Great tool review Ray. Thanks for sharing. M. K. S.
Excellent tool.
Helpful video????....been wanting one for years....with your help my want increased....LOL
I still don't know how I got along without one of these, treat yourself buddy and get you one!
Not part of the family but more reason to buy being a Fisher myself
Christopher Fisher 👍👌
never heard of such a thing thanks
For sure, once you use one you will never know how you did without them!
@@RaysGarage thats the way i think about self tapping screws .. omg what a life changer
@@RaysGarage think of all the custom things you could do with this doing body work on cars.. like making a scoop or adding a inch of thickness right on top existing metal,my ideas are limited what dose everyone use these for
Nice tool. Nice review.
Thanks Randy, Let me know if you need any rivet nutting done....
I have a marson unit. It works well
See Uncle Ray how did you know what I wanted for my birthday
And what are you building that you need rivet nuts Scott???
@@RaysGarage my shop is metal frame and it would be nice to be able to mount shelves or other things to the framing. Stuff like that
I'll look into getting one of these. I have a tool I got about 30 years ago that looks more like a pop-rivet gun but work to squeeze aluminum nut rivets. Sometimes that gun wont fit in tight spaces. Where did you get the two-wrench version that you show at the beginning of the video. That looks like it may come in handy in tight spaces.

@@RaysGarage Cool, thanks.
Does this model install plus nuts as well as rivnuts? I know this company makes an option for the longer plus nuts, but not sure if this model does those.
I am not 100% sure on that one, I would contact Astro to verify.
Looks like it works just fine!!
Just because they sell to Snap-on DOES NOT mean that under their brand name that it is the same quality. Astro makes these for several companies, and those companies supply all of the spec and quality control guide lines for what they want. Just look at stuff from China. You can get the same part, lets say a brake rotor for a Honda Accord, that was made for six different distributors, from the same exact factory, and you'll get six rotors of different quality standards even though it was made for the exact same purpose by the exact same people. This is true no matter where the part is made, even if it is made in the USA. The parts will be made to the customers standards, not their own...
Hello Norman, Thank you for sharing this information, sounds like you have knowledge with China branded manufacturing specs. i can tell you that this tool is made in China under Astro's specs and is a very good tool for the money and works very well! Thanks for tuning in! Best Regards, Ray
@@RaysGarage Hello Ray, Yes this does happen to be a fine tool for the diy'er or for occasional use. I myself have the model 1450 of this tool and it does what I need it to do. And yes, I deal with many parts and items made from china, and I can certainly say that some are fantastic and well worth the money while others are worth jack s**t.
@@normanfortin8301 Amen to that my friend!!!
Captain Obvious lol
Where did you get the additional sized nose pieces/mandrels?
Hello Larry, Ordered them straight from Astro Pneumatic, each mandrel & nose piece runs about $10 each and they ship pretty quick!
Thanks Ray.
It says made in china
Pneumatic... really?
There are actual pneumatic rivet nut setters... this isn't one of them.
I never said this was a pneumatic nut setter, I do know of several pneumatic as well as hydraulic nut setters. The company that makes this one in the video is Astro Pneumatic, they also sell pneumatic rivet setters. Just like your Binford 5000!
