Does anyone know where to buy a rivnut tool from a high street shop. I don't want to wait for delivery from a t'internet purchase.
I've checked machine mart and screwfix but nothing comes up.

Have you tried your local nut and bolt suppliers?????.

good idea..........any other suggestions?

Wilkinsons do them pretty sure,

cheap aswell

I looked into this a while back.

I ended u p buying a Drapw kit from my local ye olde tool shoppe - main reason was that quite a few people break the mandrils and by going for a know brand plus local shop meant in theory it would be easier/cheaper to source a new one.

ebay do a few and CBS sell one.

If you're in a hurry the DIY rivnut tool nut + washer trick works though its a pain if you've got lots to do....

Got mine from what was 'messengers tools' in guildford, now part of the buck and ryan chain, they still stock them as far as I know.

Ned.

The one I bought is a cheapy from Laser Tools it has worked quite well and when I broke a mandrel I droped them an email and it was replaced FOC.

Our local bolt supplier Permafast near Chesterfield has them, where in Nottingham are you?

got mine from motosave was/is a laser tool so far its not broke
