Re: Rivets vs threaded fasteners

My issue with cinch nuts is when they go bad, they can be a difficult repair. But they do have their place. You can also buy an hand installation tool that sets them with ordinary wrenches. Highly recommended if you use them.

Paul, the reason why your challenge get quoted is because it is a good example. Although I think that you would probably give the riveters a run for their money if you were the one handling the wrenches.
