Used my rivet nut tool this past weekend. Why did I wait so long before I got one of these things.
Only thing to watch is not over stressing the threads when you pull them up. I installed some hinges on the 60l engel this weekend and used the riv nut set, like you have, and got a bit casual with the amount of pull up force and stripped one out. Took 5 mins to drill the bugger out then, lucky i could, if space was limited could have been another PeeBee cluster self generated. Best thing though.Quote:

On what I was doing on the weekend, I measured and measured and took my time and still cut too much off something I had to shorten, now I've gotten lengthen it so I can secure it. Bloody amateurs.
FWIW:
If you find you’ve accidentally stripped one (Rivnut) fastest way to remove it we’ve found is to simply grind the head down slowly until it pops off like a washer.
Doesn’t seem to affect the surrounding paint but its only downfall is the internal part of the RivNut has a new forever home inside floating around if it’s a sealed cavity.

Rivnut nutsert users: if youre stripping them you are using aluminium ones, bad mandrels, or you have forearms like Popeye. Lay off the spinach or go Stainless :) :)

Bugger mate but thank you. We are up there for a day trip next weekend and was keen on a pub meal and sneaky couple of pots.
The travel buddy will have to do its thing to a couple of fourntwenties.
