Re: Rivnut Tool

[quote=GeeTwo;1622947]Thanks for sharing! We have purchased a possibly identical tool and some 10-32 inserts from Hanson rivet. Before we use it, I'd like to ask a few questions.



What sort of error? How can we eliminate or at least reduce this error?



The error we have is it takes a lot of hand/arm strength to set them this causes two problems.
1) They do not get properly set
2) if they do get properly they rarely are set perpendicular to the hole. This is due to them just struggling to get them set

we ended up buying a air rivnut gun. Once we test it some more i will let everyone know how it worked out
