What Is a Threaded Rivet Gun?

A threaded rivet gun, also known as a nutsert gun, rivnut gun or rivet nut tool, is used to install internally threaded rivet nuts into sheet metal and other suitable materials.

Unlike a standard pop rivet gun, which installs blind rivets, a threaded rivet gun installs rivet nuts that create a secure internal thread for a bolt or screw. This makes them particularly useful for applications where access to the back of the material is limited.

Threaded rivet guns are available in manual, pneumatic and cordless models, depending on the installation requirements.

Why Choose Nutsert Tools from Huck Aerobolt?

Huck Aerobolt supplies professional nutsert tools designed for reliable threaded fastening across a wide range of applications.

We also offer technical advice, spare parts and tool repairs to help you select and maintain the right equipment for your application.

Types of Nutsert Tools We Offer

Whether you need a hand-operated nutsert tool for occasional jobs or a powered threaded rivet gun for regular installations, our range includes:

• Manual nutsert tools: Hand-operated plier, lever and ratchet tools suitable for smaller jobs, maintenance work and installations where powered equipment isn't required.

• Pneumatic nutsert guns: Air-powered tools, including hydro-pneumatic models, designed for efficient and consistent rivet nut installation in workshop and production environments.

• Cordless rivnut guns: Battery-powered tools offering portability and convenience for on-site work and applications where compressed air isn't available.

Each tool has specific thread-size and material capacities, so check the product specifications before selecting a model.

Choosing the Right Nutsert Tool for Your Needs

Choosing the right nutsert tool or threaded rivet gun depends on the rivet nut size, fastener material and number of installations required.

For occasional installations, a manual nutsert tool may be suitable. Pneumatic tools are a practical choice for frequent or high-volume fastening, while cordless rivnut guns offer greater mobility for site work.

Check the tool's supported thread sizes, such as M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10 or M12, along with its compatibility with aluminium, steel or stainless steel rivet nuts. Not all tools support every size or material.

Huck Aerobolt can help you select a suitable tool for your application.

Nutsert Tools FAQs

What Is a Nutsert Tool?

A nutsert tool is a specialised fastening tool used to install rivet nuts, also known as nutserts or rivnuts, into suitable materials. Once installed, the rivet nut provides an internal thread that accepts a matching bolt or screw.

Is a Threaded Rivet Gun the Same as a Nutsert Gun?

Yes. Threaded rivet gun, nutsert gun and rivnut gun are commonly used names for tools designed to install threaded rivet nuts.

These tools are available in manual, pneumatic and cordless versions, with different models suited to different fastener sizes, materials and installation volumes.

Can You Use a Standard Rivet Gun for Threaded Rivets?

A standard pop rivet gun is designed to install blind rivets and is not generally suitable for installing threaded rivet nuts.

To install nutserts or rivnuts, you'll need a compatible rivet nut setting tool with the correct mandrel and nosepiece for your fastener.

How Do I Choose the Best Nutsert Tool?

Consider the thread size, rivet nut material, material thickness and installation volume.

Manual tools are often suitable for smaller jobs, while pneumatic and cordless tools can improve efficiency for frequent installations. Always check the tool's rated capacity before purchasing.

Are Nutsert Tools Compatible with All Rivet Nuts?

No. Nutsert tools have specific thread-size and material capacities. A tool suitable for aluminium rivet nuts may not have sufficient capacity for the same size in stainless steel.

Check the manufacturer's specifications and ensure the correct mandrel and nosepiece are available for your rivet nut.

What Are the Benefits of Using Powered Nutsert Tools?

Powered nutsert tools can reduce manual effort, improve installation efficiency and help deliver more consistent results, particularly when installing large quantities of rivet nuts.

Pneumatic models are well suited to workshop and production environments, while cordless models provide flexibility for mobile and on-site applications.
