A long time ago my dad made me a rivnut tool. I've never needed it as i wasn't at that part of the build so I lent it to a few people and ....... i can't remember who's got it now.

Really could do with it back so its a plea to whomever to send me a u2u.

Me, I haven't got it

can i borrow it after you get it back though :O) please

was not me.. If you have no luck I picked up a silver-line one worked well for me (only used on M4 and M6 (steel) rivenuts.. only 12quid new from ebay).. They also have a "lifetime" warantly others have got mandrels from them when they break.. I expect your home made one will be better though..

Good luck.. Tend to find tools are not like boomerangs unfortunately!

i have a rivnut tool you can borrow mike

Thanks Alex, appreciate the offer but i'll add a post on here for the next few days to keep it current before i go asking to borrow others.

Mike...did a search on this, and all I came up with was this old 2005 thread.......it might jog the brain cells anyway....

Fozzie......

Thanks fozzie - already checked with NSDev and he's not got it.

Woke up today with a vague memory of lending it out in a pub. Its got me wondering if its one of the South Brum lot who's got it.

Got the debtors board ready to be hung in the garage for future lends so at least i'll know who's got what as long as i remember to update it.

(ps if i've got anyone's stuff let me know as i may have forgotten).

i have not got it mike

Mike i don't have it
But if its like my tools it will be in my son's garage thats where i find most of my tools

SON - eeek, never knew i had one!!!! please point him out and i'll go say hello to him.

Not me either - rivnuts are the devils spawn!
