Thanks for the video, it really helps. Looking at the prices of a rivnut tool here in S.A. I was contemplating to just take my 300w solar panel (that I'm planning to mount to my Jeep Wrangler's roof) to an engineering shop perhaps to install 4 of those rivnuts BUT then I stumbled across this video of yours. This is gonna work out way cheaper, thanks. Also, I think it is better to use the hand tools instead of an impact driver so that you can feel where the limit is for the rivnut. I doubt you'll get a good feeling with an impact driver.

Smear a little grease or oil on any parts that will rub during tightening, such as the faces of the washers, etc. This reduces friction, but it also reduces the rotational force on the rivnut itself. Forgive me for not wading through all the comments to check if this has already been suggested. 🥴

Hey nice video, i appreciate the time taken to explain in depth. What rivnuts or cross nuts would you suggest for a car dashboard (pvc material). I need to attach a stereo panel but i need it in a way where if i have to make any future repairs i can unscrew the nuts and take the panel out. Its a diy project so i have to fix the panel on a desired place on a dashboard where i need some good grip to fix it and i find these kind of rivnuts or cross nuts appropriate for the job but i am afraid that when i apply the torque it might crack the dashboard. Any suggestions will be a big favor. Thanks.

@DIYwithDeon Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. Question, with the second method you are turning and loading the bolt in the rivnut. Wouldn't that be harder on the threads than the stationary bolt in the first method?

Hi Michael! It's a pleasure and thank you for your support. With regards to your question, yes it does put a bit more strain on the rivnut threads, but that method is more aimed at using an impact driver. 👌🏻

@turbot8er672 Жыл бұрын

Seems like the second method would be more likely to damage the rivnut since the bolt is actually threading in with the added resistance of the rivnut being compressed. It might put a little more wear on the threads than the first method.

If you have a significant number of *M10* rivet nuts to install, I suggest you get the tool or use another method. I installed 4 and it nearly killed me. For m10 nuts, both the torque and lateral pressure required to keep the rivnut from spinning while crimping are are very large.

Hi there! In both cases, the rivnut should be able wiggle out with a pair of pliers if it has reached its maximum compressed state and still spinning freely.

Now try to do these things with the M3 thread, and we'll see😊 And then you have a lot of such clever people in KZfaq: you show the same thing with large threaded rivets

I tried with M4, it was impossible, the bolt kept bending. And these are stainless bolts. Will have to use rivets instead.

I just installed a few M4 rivnuts using method 1 in my cycle to hold the battery. I knew that something would give way and used stainless steel bolts and nuts to tighten the rivnut. Yes, both bolts have bent out of shape. It can be done, just keep minimal space between the head of the bolt and the nut.

I just made my Chevrolet Astro into a camper van, and build the shelves etc that is now in the way so I can not lower the ceiling cover to install a roof rack with nuts behind the ceiling cover. Would the 12 screw roof rack be safe if I use rivnuts?

@DIYwithDeon 2 жыл бұрын

I would say it should be fine, as I have seen many aftermarket roofracks and roofbars being fitted with rivnuts. As long as they are placed in the designated spots. 👌🏻

He is not lying …. He didn’t explain to make the hole just the right size for the riv nut … with the tool you likely can have the hole larger …like a typical rivet gun set up with rivets

Tried this and the issue is the Rivnut turns which works against you turning the spanner. I eventually sucked it up and went and bought the correct tool for the job.

I am sorry about your unpleasant experience. At least you have a proper tool now. Here is a clearer version of that video where I also mentioned that problem: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJudi7d4urWcYps.html

If you use a relatively long high tensile bolt and a nut you can hold the bolt (socket or ring spanner) and use a ring spanner to turn the nut clockwise to compress the RivNut. I’ve done loads in car wheel arches where fancy tools can’t reach.

I’m using stainless rivnuts into mild steel and can’t for the life of me get the dammed thing to bite. It seems that the rivnut is spinning along with the bolt while turning it. Besides buying the proper tools, does anyone have a suggestion?

@DIYwithDeon Жыл бұрын

Hi Brian, maybe the hole is a bit too big. Otherwise start to crush the rivnut only a bit before inserting it, so that it can grab the sides of the metal better and then press it firmly against the metal while turning the bolt. I hope this helps a bit. Thanks for your support! 👌

@onlythetruthfull Жыл бұрын

It is the friction driving the fitting around, a proper tool pulls the Rivnut like a standard rivet gun. There are cheaper tools available one is like two wedges which were on you tube but I cannot find it again the other way is to use perfectly flat washers with grease or use a bearing (thrust) washer to help eliminate the friction. Anyone can use a bolt and nut for a run of the mill rivnuts but there are many types available under different names for different jobs, you are using stainless that is harder to set and has it got ridges to help it grip .can you drill a slightly smaller hole to overcome the turning last but not least have you got the right length of Rivnut for the job. Hope all goes well.

@Brian Oglow : Brian, I realise that I am a month too late, but for other viewers, if you try Deon's first method, there is no turning force on the rivnut... that method should work fine for you. The second method only works if the rivnut grips the material, and probably would not work in your case. (Unless you mean that the rivnut spins after it is inserted, and cannot be used as intended?)

can it works with M3 rivet nut?

It should work fine, it normaly gets easier when you go smaller.

What is the point of the nut between the washers? Why not use just the washers - or just one washer - and crank away?

@DIYwithDeon 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Al, I found that its easier to press the rivnut against the surface with a wrench at the beginning in order to keep it from turning and to start bulging at the back. And then the space it gives you between the surface and the head of the bolt you are inserting is also helpful while pressing the rivnut against the surface and tightening the bolt. I hope this explains the reason well enough. Thanks for your support! 👌

@alchristensen8121 2 жыл бұрын

@@DIYwithDeon I'm thinking, use a washer at least as wide as the socket then use an impact driver, pressing against the washer and rivnut.

@DIYwithDeon 2 жыл бұрын

That will work just as well. Just put 2 washers in to minimise the friction👌🏻
