Suitable for

• Fastening M6 rivet nuts into sheet metal, aluminium and thin-walled structures
• Automotive repair and bodywork where blind-side access is limited
• Light assembly lines and maintenance workshops requiring threaded inserts
• Prototyping and repair tasks in HVAC, electrical enclosures and metal furniture

Key specifications

• Thread size support: M6 rivet nuts
• Operation: handheld, manual or pneumatic-assisted depending on model configuration
• Material contact surfaces: hardened mandrel and sleeve for wear resistance
• Construction: durable metal housing suitable for workshop use
• Ergonomics: pistol-grip or compact form factor for controlled handling

How to use

Select the correct M6 mandrel and nosepiece, secure the rivet nut on the mandrel, insert the rivet nut into the prepared hole and operate the tool according to the manufacturer's handling method until the rivet nut flares and forms a secure internal thread. After setting, release the mandrel and remove the tool. Periodically check mandrel engagement and thread integrity to ensure consistent installation quality.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool with correctly sized holes and rivet nuts to avoid deformation. Inspect mandrels and nosepieces regularly for wear and replace when necessary. Follow safety precautions such as eye protection and secure workpieces to prevent movement during installation. For high-volume applications consider planned maintenance and spare mandrels to minimize downtime.
