one on the right (broken) 30 rivnuts and £62 one on the left copy of the sealey one and made by same firm that make the sealey one i've heard £50 from a firm that sell tools at the kitcar shows and are based in stoke about 1000 pop rivets and about 50 rivnuts only thing wrong with it is if you put to much pressure on it it strips the thread on the rivnut and smacks your knuckles together, cheers for the advice snoopy Rescued attachment rivnut tool.JPG

I have tried all types, the ratchet ones are very good but fiddly, the sealy ones are good, but are restricted by access.

Out of all of them, I would always go for the riveter type one, but go for a good make, either zebra or spiralux

Never needed a tool to set a a Rivnut always managed with a bolt, nut, a spacer and a couple of washers.
