Evening,

Can anyone recommend a decent Rivnut tool?

Cheers

Gesipa makes very nice ones, professional grade stuff:

They're reasonably priced on the german ebay.

I have a cheap Laser one, (£20) works fine. The m3 mandrel is weak but laser generally swap them for free.

Don't buy anything silver line. All they are good for is scrap. Saying that my silver line rivnut tool is the only thing that hasn't broken. If I didn't get it free from work I prob would buy the memfast one. (I use the memfast rivnuts)

I use a Laser one aswell, never had a problem with it in the 8 years ive used it

Thanks guys, the memfast and geispa ones look lovely, but I can't justify £100 on one tool just for the car right now I'm not a Silverline fan either...

I'll check out the Laser ones

I bought an Eclipse, supposed to be top quality - broke it!

But they did replace the parts under warranty no problem.

Hi

Either use a converter for your pop rivet tool: http://www.lasaero.com/site/products/article?id=T02UY0WNP

Or use: http://www.lasaero.com/site/products/article?id=J00228QJ9
