What Are Rivet Nuts?

Rivet nuts (also known as threaded inserts or blind nuts) are innovative fasteners that create durable, threaded anchors in materials too thin or fragile for traditional nuts. At HomeDIYer.com, we offer premium rivet nuts in stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel, ideal for automotive, construction, and DIY applications. Their unique design allows installation from one side, making them perfect for confined spaces.

🔩 Key features: Vibration-resistant | Corrosion-resistant coatings | Metric/SAE sizing

How to Install Rivet Nuts: 5-Step Guide

  1. Drill Pilot Hole: Match hole diameter to rivet nut size (see size chart<)
  2. Insert Rivet Nut: Thread onto compatible installation tool mandrel
  3. Position: Place in pre-drilled hole with flange against material surface
  4. Compress: Squeeze tool handles to deform rivet nut body
  5. Verify: Check thread integrity with bolt test

⚠️ Critical Tip:

Always use certified tools - improper compression causes thread stripping. For hardened metals, apply lubricant to mandrel.

Rivet Nut FAQs

Can I install without special tools?

No - proper installation requires mandrel tools. We offer budget-friendly kits starting at $29.99.

Aluminum vs steel rivet nuts?

Aluminum (lightweight/rust-proof) for electronics | Steel (high-strength) for engines/structural loads

How choose thickness capacity?

Our nuts support 0.5-6mm materials. Use formula: Grip Range = Material Thickness + 25%
