- While we've seen several tool companies release cordless rivet tools, this Metabo 18V Cordless Rivet Nut Tool is the first for nut-serts. Riv-nut, rivet-nut, and nut-serts are all pet names for installing threaded inserts. These act a little like blind rivets, but they require much more force. This Metabo cordless rivet nut tool will install Aluminum, Steel, and stainless steel riv-nuts. #metabotools #review #shoptoolreviews

13:39 - They had to implement a more intelligent way to quickly change the settings, instead of forcing the user to remember the numbers. Pressing both buttons simultaneously could switch to that mode, then pressing the left button would change the rivnut size (M3 M4, M6, M8, M10), while the right button would change the material type (Aluminum, Steel Stainless steel, Brass).
Changing the tips for the different sizes is also super slow. It could be done in a much quicker way.
Great tool, Gesipa brand twin. So happy you made this review, outstanding from any other 1 in a billion who has the strongest cordless drill reviews. Rivet nut guns are incredible valuable tools in case you need the application. And now after watching your detailed and very pleasing presentation I‘ll go and grab one for my sheet metal improvements. Expensive but worth it!
I've used a lot of the stainless nuts in my boat.. Would have loved this thing. Next time I need, I'll be buying one of these
i imported one from the UK years ago. The battery went bad and it was impossible to get a new one for it. I am happy someone is finally getting one in the US although it is much larger than i would like to see. The one i had was much smaller.
For a production environment that uses rivnuts this would be great. It seems I always have to put them in some place where it's next to impossible to swing the handles on the manual tool.
Hello! Great video ! This originaly is Gesipa made tool , they are now in CAS battery system , the cap ( M4;6;8...) and the lock nut are for adjusting the exposed lenght of the thread , so that you can adjust lenght of the stroke. Thats what those wrenches are for . If you havent adjusted stroke lenght , you might end up with pulled out thread from the nut . This is the rare tool that you need to read that booklet that came with it . And yes , they are expencive . HTH
12:10 - They had to implement an automatic stop triggered by a sensor that detects the touch of the rivnut ready for installation.
Dont think id ever need this for my job, but i do have their 6 inch sander, Track saw, multi tool, cordless dust extractor, 5 inch grinder and drill. I love German Metabo even though some are made in China. They have been good to me and highly reccomend this brand.
Cool tool, but absurd price. I use the manual Astro for years, and for about $80, works great. This thing is ridiculous on price.
Can’t wait for big red to make this tool
We've been twisting their arm for about 3 years now for this. They do have the M18 Rivet tool and the M18 Huck-bolt tool, so I think we'll see it at the next Milwaukee Pipeline event this year. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this! I'm looking forward to a Ryobi version. I wonder what woodworking applications could work with this tool. I get the metal applications, but I'm thinking furniture.
Astro adn14 with your drill of choice. Proprietary tools are such bullshit
Missing inch thread riv nuts and only going up to M8 is a huge let down. Compared to the many hand riv nut tools on Amazon which all include inch riv nuts and go up to ½” and M12 I can’t see any real reason to buy the Metabo. $1400?? Just no.
They use that on the port
6:46 - For such an overpriced power tool, one should not be forced to open its back cap and use a manual tool to detach it from the rivnut.
Oh yeah
$1400?
$1430 ? Ridiculously overpriced
Would come in handy for them stupid miller cat shield installations where you need to put the rivet nut setter into the vehicle's frame. I messed with one installation of the rivet nut setter by using a bolts and nuts, took nearly an hour and fail to set one rivet. So F this shit, order the manual rivet nut setter, and worked flawless, took 2-3 minutes to set 6 rivet nuts. When my manual rivet nut setter break down, I will keep this cordless rivet nut tool in mind.
We can't argue with this. Real world use. Thanks for watching.
12:35 - Another failure caused by bad engineering. They had to program the tool to do at least a couple extra revolutions in the reverse direction, just to make sure that the thread will not be locked. Even better, they could have provided the option to set the number of extra reverse revolutions OR let the user hold the trigger in the final operation for as long as he or she wants.
Yeah, I was amazed by that. It's got a 7 segment LED display, though. The microprocessor inside probably doesn't have enough memory to do that :)
And the engineers who designed it probably retired 10 or 20 years ago, so, nobody remembers how to change anything on it.
@@gf2e , I believe that the processor inside is good enough to program the tool to do a couple of reverse revolutions. Maybe it's a matter of engineering mind and whether they engineers actually test their own creation in real life conditions to find out of there are drawbacks in their design that need to be fixed. "Metabo" sells the tool for a premium price and I'm amazed that such a basic function is non-existent...
@@AutomotiveCNC Yeah, I was joking about the CPU size :)
I’ve written C++ on a machine with 1k of RAM, and I’m not an expert. There really is no excuse for having to pull out a mechanical tool to retract the nut.
@@gf2e , I completely agree with you. The sad thing is that many industrial designers and engineers don't put the effort to test their creations, hence we end up with half-backed products that were supposed to work properly. Being self-critical is a key to success, especially if you are making automated tools.
@@AutomotiveCNC I think part of it is the development process and timeline. How many prototypes can you make? How often, and how quickly, can you make changes and get them to the production line?
Some companies don’t put the effort into making 100% prototypes before they go into production. They’ll have their last prototype and decide to make the last few changes in production. And they won’t have any process for small changes. If they want to make a little change, they’ll have to redo their testing and so on, and that’s too expensive so they don’t do that.
Having production done far, far away from the designers is also probably a problem. It makes it harder to examine tweaks.
There’s also the cultural thing of some companies being arrogant and thinking they know better than anyone else. They know what you want. And you’ll just smile and accept it.
WHY NOT INCLUDE A RIVET ATTACHMENT?
We think the same thing...about this tool...and about the Milwaukee & DeWalt Rivet guns that can't do rivnuts. There must be a hurdle that we're not aware of. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews the hurdle just might be greed.
