Generic Rivet Nut Tool Kit 16" Long-Handle Rivet Nut Gun — 15 Mandrels & 180 Rivnuts, M3–M12/SAE

The Eastvolt 16" Rivet Nut Tool Kit is a handheld rivet-nut installer with a long ergonomic handle, 15 interchangeable mandrels, and 180 rivnuts for metal, plastic and automotive fastening.

This complete kit bundles a heavy-duty 16-inch rivet nut gun with a full set of metric and SAE mandrels, a selection of 180 rivet nuts, and a blow-molded storage case so you can set up secure, protrusion-free threaded anchors quickly on the job or in the garage. Built from heat-treated carbon steel and reinforced aluminum alloy, the tool balances strength with manageable weight and is designed for repeatable performance when installing nutserts in thin sheet materials.

How does the long 16" handle reduce effort during installation?

The extended non-slip handle increases leverage so you can pull a rivet nut closed with significantly less force than shorter hand tools. That extra mechanical advantage is especially helpful with larger thread sizes like M12 or 1/2-13, reducing hand fatigue and improving control on every pull.

• 16-inch handle for up to 50% less manual effort
• Textured, non-slip grip for secure handling
• Long reach for awkward or recessed installation points

What sizes and fastener types are included, and how easy is it to change mandrels?

The kit includes 15 mandrels covering Metric M3–M12 and common SAE threads from 6-32 through 1/2-13, plus a mixed supply of 180 rivet nuts to match. Mandrels are hand-changeable for fast swaps on the workbench or in the field; the tool ships with the M6 mandrel already installed for convenience.

• 15 mandrels: M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 and 6-32 to 1/2-13 SAE
• 180 rivet nuts in assorted sizes for common applications
• Tool-ready M6 mandrel pre-installed; hand-replaceable design

Is the Eastvolt rivet nut gun durable enough for repeated use?

Components are made from thickened carbon steel with heat treatment and high-strength aluminum alloy, chosen to withstand frequent pulls without deforming. The construction aims to balance toughness with reasonable weight for handheld use, and the included blow-molded case protects parts during transport and storage.

• Heat-treated carbon steel body for long service life
• Reinforced aluminum alloy components to reduce overall weight
• Blow-molded case organizes mandrels, rivnuts, and wrench

Which jobs is this tool best suited for on vehicles and around the workshop?

The gun is designed for installing threaded anchors where welding or tapping is impractical: thin sheet metal, plastic panels, furniture panels and decorative assemblies. It works well for automotive body panels, interior trim, and retrofit mounts where a flush, load-bearing thread is needed without access to the backside.

• Automotive bodywork and trim installation
• Sheet metal fabrication and repair
• Plastic components, furniture assemblies, and decorative hardware

Who is this for: This Eastvolt kit suits professional mechanics, metalworkers and serious DIYers who need a versatile, portable rivet-nut solution with broad size coverage. If you install threaded inserts in thin materials frequently or want a single, organized kit that covers both metric and SAE threads, this tool delivers the leverage, durability and assortment to keep projects moving efficiently.
