hey guys
instead of paying 80 t0 170 odd quid on a good rivnut tool, i decided to make my own, i got a small hand rivnut tool but needed a big one to set m8 steel rivnuts in, so saved myself some cash and made my own. may take a bit longer to use than the pukka ones but it also can get in places that the big ones cant.

Very innovative,
My riv nut tool came loose and stripped the threads, so the welder will be out tomorrow.
You havnt patented it have you.?

i was just going to ask this same question a week ago!!! really inspiring...good job!
Hellfire has a diy rivnut tool too... check Nov.20 on his build diary in his website... sorry dunno linky out of the top of my head

So does David Jenkins on his web site.

Second to last post on this thread:

That link didn't work for me... go to my website (link below) and select "special tools" from the menu.

Note: the ball bearing bit isn't essential, but it makes life easier.
