The Bollhoff RIVKLE® is similar to the original styled Rivnut® product line, but features standard European design for “true metric” hole sizes. As a global company, Bollhoff manufactures a wide variety of styles and thread sizes of Rivnut® fasteners, including the Bollhoff RIVKLE®. Rivet Nut USA distributes the RIVKLE® line in a number of materials including steel, aluminum and stainless steel.
Rivet Nut USA (a division of Cardinal Components, Inc.) is a Preferred Authorized Bollhoff Distributor of the Bollhoff RIVKLE®. To provide our customers the best availability and variety, we also offer non-Bollhoff rivet nuts & fasteners.
Some interesting versions of a RIVKLE® include a rivet nut with anti-vibration elastic coating, a rivet nut with anti-fracture feature for composites and the RIVSTUD®, a female rivet nut coupled with a male threaded bolt.
Rivet Nut USA stocks a selection of installation tools for easy-to-use and reliable rivet nut installation such as our pneumatic nut insert tools (4090, B4090 & 6703), manual hand tools (C845, C722, C6000 & 140-2000). Check out our “Install Tools” page for more info.
