Nutserts & Rivnuts

Nutserts, Rivnut & Rivet Nut Experts

Nutserts are internally threaded tubular fasteners that attach to a surface, allowing secure bolting where a standard hole or tapped thread isn’t possible - especially in thin materials. Australia’s #1 range, from the popular Nutsert "Xtralok®" for extra grip through to Hex Nutserts, Rivnuts, and Plus Nuts. We also offer a wide selection of air and cordless nutsert/rivnut guns.

Nutserts, Rivnuts & Rivet Nuts for Thin Sheet Metal, Tube & Industrial Fastening Applications

Nutserts, rivnuts and rivet nuts are blind installed internally threaded fasteners engineered to create strong reusable machine threads in thin sheet metal, tube, aluminium, stainless steel, plastic, fibreglass and other softer materials where rear access is restricted or conventional tapping is impractical.

Installed from one side only, these fasteners provide a permanent load bearing anchor point for bolts, machine screws and removable assemblies across fabrication, automotive, transport, marine, agricultural, electrical and industrial maintenance applications.

Huck Aerobolt supplies one of Australia’s most complete commercial ranges of nutserts and rivnuts covering Hex Nutserts, Xtralok® rivnuts, Smooth Body Rivnuts, Plus Nuts, Jack Nuts, Threaded Stud Inserts, Well Nuts and other specialised blind threaded inserts.

Why Different Nutsert Styles Matter

Different applications require different body styles, grip ranges and anti-rotation features depending on the parent material, installation load and required thread performance.

High torque fastening applications often benefit from Hex Nutserts or Xtralok® rivnuts, while Smooth Body Rivnuts remain a practical solution for general sheet metal assembly. Plus Nuts, Jack Nuts and Inserts For Plastic are commonly selected where softer or brittle materials are being joined.

Choosing the Correct Rivnut or Nutsert

Selecting the right fastening insert depends on:

  • parent material thickness
  • drilled hole size
  • required thread size
  • pull-out and torque resistance
  • anti-rotation requirements
  • corrosion resistance
  • installation tool compatibility

Choosing the correct combination of body type, material grade and grip range ensures long term thread reliability and prevents common installation failures such as insert spin, pull-through or thread distortion under load.
