Rivet nut setter Forsage F-678200 — manual hand tool for blind rivet nuts

Forsage F-678200 is a manual rivet nut setter designed for installing blind rivet nuts (nutserts) in sheet metal and other thin materials. This hand-operated tool provides mechanical leverage to compress and secure threaded inserts without the need for power equipment. It is intended for applications in repair, assembly, automotive work and metal fabrication where a reliable female thread is required in thin or hard-to-reach panels.

Advantages

The tool offers controlled, repeatable installation of blind rivet nuts with a compact, hand-held design that requires no external power source. Its mechanical action ensures consistent clamping force for secure insert seating, while the ergonomic handles reduce operator fatigue during repeated use. The robust construction provides durability for workshop and field use, and compatibility with common rivet nut sizes makes it versatile for a range of tasks.

Suitable for

• Installing threaded inserts in sheet metal panels
• Automotive repairs and modifications
• Metal fabrication and light assembly work
• Maintenance and field repairs where portable hand tools are needed

Key specifications

• Operation type: manual, hand-operated lever action
• Intended fastener: blind rivet nuts (nutserts)
• Suitable material thickness: thin sheets and panels (metal and similar materials)
• Design features: ergonomic handles for improved grip and leverage
• Construction: durable metal components for workshop and field use

How to use

Select a rivet nut of the correct size for the material and drill a hole to the recommended diameter. Thread the rivet nut onto the tool’s mandrel, insert the assembly into the prepared hole, and squeeze the handles to deform and set the insert until it is securely clamped against the workpiece. Release the handles and unthread the mandrel to leave a fixed, captive threaded insert. Follow manufacturer guidance for hole size and rivet nut dimensions to ensure a proper fit.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection and work gloves when installing rivet nuts. For best results, confirm hole diameter and rivet nut length against material thickness before installation. Regularly inspect and lightly lubricate moving parts to maintain smooth operation and prolonged tool life.
