Yes you can. But they are not usually splined, so they don't grip as well. I used to use them for work, the just tack it in place with the TIG after collapsing them into place. This stops them from spinning in the future.

hhmmm i might have to buy a TIG then

I have had a lot of luck with "squaring up" the hole with a small file, when you compress the rivnut/nutsert it deforms into the shape and resists slipping.

Just to bring up some 3 month old history...

i found this on ebay and it looked a tad more like bolt cutters with the extra leverage compared to the pop rivet style that has been listed here before. I was wondering before I bought it if anyone else has one like this and what its like?
Dave

[zukenutter]

Buy it and tell the rest of us what it's like

[ajsr]

Cheers, just bought the $50 one. To spend another $100 just so I can put in m10, naw, i think i can save my $$!

[TheOtherLeft]

I've heard good reports from this seller and from my emails with him he seems pretty genuine.

[SSSIERA]

hmmm. i have to do a designe and construct project at the end of the year. for metals engineering
that must contain examples of
cutting
bending
machining and welding

my old man has one of these tools the squeezy one so i might have a go at making one if i am aloud

only problem is i have to be able to draw it in autocad, and im shithouse at using it. who one here is a cad wiz

mandrels could be made on the lathe. and the gun must be able to be welded some were

Why not make a front or rear bar for your car?

[SSSIERA]

already tried that. but were not aloud no car parts because of designe laws and shit. with not passing standards. its a blanket rule!

[MacDaddy]

Just found this thread, and i must say, these Nutsert tools are pretty damn awesome, so many things i could use it for, to bolt things onto the GV, hehe

I just did a search on eBay, here is one from the same seller as mentioned above, with 250 pieces of Ally and Steel, from M3 to M8, for $200 -
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/214-PC-BLIND ... 1c1de76b4c

And to make the job even easier, here is a Cordless Drill Nutsert attachment for $188, its on sale for a week -

[bohuler]

Buy one of these Same seller as the kit one, but a crapload cheaper!
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RIVET-NUT-NU ... 1c1cbf0e65
I bought one of these then went out and bought 50 m3 m4 m6 and m8 steel nutserts and i think the 200 nutserts cost me about $50. Thats more then enough to get started. I recon you buy the kit, ya'd only use a few of the 'serts themselves, more would just sit there filling out the box.
Just my 2c worth.

[Damo]

Tradetools have a kit on special at the moment. Good value.
