Timbo, we do have nutserting tools but even those ones play up....They are cheap chinese ones we use and they constantly jam up. Sometimes the old trusty bolt trick just seems easier.
Scotty, Yes mate I think a rivsert is exactly the same as a nutsert....Tomarrrtos and tomayyytos...lol
Sweet!! Thanks - in that case, I'm getting the tool and some inserts this weekend!!!

Top thread Andy. Wanted to use some of these a while back, but the cost of the tool made me find another way to do the job.
Wish I'd read this back then.

If you want to buy a simple tool to fit them go to www.ovesco.com.au as they sell them as well as a full range of nutserts.
the hand tools will only do up to 6mm but the little bolts with a specially machined nut will do up to 10mm.
See here http://www.ovesco.com.au/products.ph...sert%20Tooling under hand insert tools .

I've put these in by using 2 pinch bars.
put bolt in nutsert, first pinchbar flat end around bolt but not binding on thread to hold nutsert in place, second pinchbar curved end up under bolt head and levered against first bar.

Just reading this thread and clicked on the ebay link. i ended up finding a seller who had this in their ad. Hope it helps.
note i do not reccomend purchasing a tool to set these items as it is not nessecary a simple tool can be easily made just by drilling a hole in a flat pc of steel and using a bolt to collapse rivet nut into panel , I bought a rivet nut tool about a year ago and the thing is useless save your money i use a simple tool as described and i use my air ratchet it is the quickest easiest way
