diy rivnut tool
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.

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.
