Rivet nut tool?

[drf256]

After buying mine, wasn’t sure why I couldn’t just use an appropriate sized threaded stud and my regular rivet gun. But now I’ve got it.

I sprung for a good one from Mcmaster Carr

Same here

There is a wide range in the quality of the "nuts" themselves. Some have a serrated edge to (help) keep then from spinning in the hole

When I searched that, it came up as a pop rivet gun. Not a rivet nut tool.

Too quick on the trigger! Sorry bout that.

I found a nice tool on trinkets for $5, unfortunately only for one size M10 because there were no interchangeable tips. If anyone wants, I'll show it

So how does that work? Hold the nut with a wrench and turn the bolt counterclockwise?

Hold the bolt with a wrench and tighten the nut.

Anyone familiar with the style that you chuck up in a drill? Astro comes to mind but I believe the same style is made under a few different names.

Hold the bolt with a wrench and tighten the nut.

There must be a better screw because the regular one will break off immediately
