Aluminum riv nuts,  China no doubt.  Riv nuts not installed via pop rivit gun?  Screw device.   Sucks balls.  Will gladly go buy correct riv nuts.  What are my options?

I always used a bolt (allen head grade nine) and a steel spacer with a air impact gun to finish out smashing them down.   Don't let the steel spacer turn any buy welding a short handle on it.   The tools used to install them never had enough leverage to finish closing them down.  Also use some antiseize on the bolt so it don't weld to the rivnut.  Hole size is crucial you want the serrations to grab the metal.

Anti Size may be the trick.  These things suck.  Off to the fastener store later today.

Bite the bullet,buy an installation tool as I showed you. Problem solved. You can afford the tool. Make your life a lot easier.I've had my install tool ,just like the one I showed you for over 35 years. Installed 100's of the rivnuts,learned the aluminum rivnuts are not worth using. If you are using 1/4" or larger rivnuts then this type tool is best.

It all depends on whether you wish to keep the hair on your head or pull it out fighting the things.......... ;) ;) Right tool=happy worker=best results. ;D ;D

Honestly,I HATE fighting stuff and getting inferior results so, I always buy the best tools I can afford for the job at hand.

Here's and unusual riv-nut tool.  I like this concept because it not wanting to turn the nut and galled the threads.

Really this is the one that I have.  You still need to use the bolt and spacer thingy when installing a 5/16 or bigger rev nut.

There is absolutely zero possibility of galling any threads with either of the tools I showed. There is no wrenching of any kind done with them. Fast,secure,simple.

You know I have a philosophy about tools.  I always tell myself that it would cost me way more to have someone else do it than what I end up spending on the tool.  Plus then ya always have it for next time.  Talk about rationalization  ;D  It works for me !
