- C722 & C845 Wrench Type Manual Stroke Tool for All RIVNUTS® and PLUSNUTS®
- C1000 Wrench Type Manual Stroke Tool for Small PLUSNUTS®
A Manual RIVNUT® Wrench Driven Rivet Nut Tool is a hand-operated tool designed for the easy installation of Rivet Nuts/RIVNUTS®. This tool features a design which includes a hex key on one end and an additional device for turning it similar to a typical wrench. The wrench is inserted into the hex key of the tool and is turned. As the wrench turns the hex key a mandrel begins compressing the rivet nut into a pre-drilled hole. This compression creates a secure, threaded installation of the rivet nut. The tool includes a mandrel and anvil, which work together to ensure that the rivet nut is properly shaped and fixed. Its design makes it an effective and user-friendly solution for installation, offering ease of use, portability, and cost-effectiveness. The Manual RIVNUT® Wrench Style Tool is ideal for various industries and applications, providing a reliable tool for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
The tool typically consists of three main components:
- Main Tool: One end includes the hex key and the opposite end houses the Mandrel and Anvil.
- Mandrel and Anvil: The mandrel is a screw or bolt that pulls the rivet nut into place, while the anvil molds it to ensure a tight fit. There are many Mandrel and Anvils sizes available to fit your rivet nut thread size.
- Wrench Accessory: This is the piece that allows the user to turn the hex key which allows the Mandrel and Anvil to install the rivet nut.
