Use a longer bolt and a "studding connector" nut. The nut has 5-6 times more thread, so the pressure on the nut and bolt threads will be reduced, they'll last a lot longer.

Something I discovered with this method if for example you use a 6m rivnut it says to drill a 9mm hole but this is a loose fit and can make it a nightmare to make stop spinning in the hole especially if your in a situation where you can't put a lot of pressure easily. What I did was drill a 8.5mm hole then drill most of the way through with a 9mm and then tap it in with a hammer, MUCH easier.

I've used these Rivnuts to attach Yakima rooftop rain-gutter plates to my 2002 Hyundai Accent hatchback. The Yakima kit actually included these Rivnuts (called PlusNuts, in the packaging). Installation involved a nut-washer-bolt-AllenWrench system similar to your Grade-8 bolt system. They worked well and have held the four plates tightly for over 18 years to this day, to carry lots of crap on the roof of that car. I've also used these things for mounting rack accessories to my bicycle. By the way, Harbor Freight Tools sells a similar rivet-nut tool for about 30 bucks, way less than the one depicted in the video.

I was going to drop the headliner which makes it a bigger job until I saw a video about using these Rivnuts. My concern was how much stress and weight can these Rivnuts take versus the instruction manual that had you drop the headliner, install these 4 plates inside the roof and attach bolts and nuts to them. I'd prefer to go the easy route but not sure how much vertical and horizontal stress they can take

@@VideoShowMeHow - Yeah, I watched that video as well. And yes that's the style set tool I was referring to trying next - only manually as I don't have the cordless driver I'd need to drive them. Though I'm looking at an impact driver as well. Problem is as well, like you everyone shows the DIY setting tools putting in 1/4-20 or 6mm rivet nuts. For those sizes and up you can easily find the number 8 hardened hex bolts etc needed. Under the 1/4-20, 6mm like the 10-24, 8's, 6's or 4's or 5mm, 4mm, 3mm you can't easily find hex head bolts let alone #8 hardened hex heads. I could only find hex Cap machine bolts. And the hardest of those was SS. So with a driver, I'd have to use a hex key socket in order to drive them. Anyway - no one is showing a diy setter for those smaller than 1/4-20, 6mm and I take it that's the reason. The hardened bolts are hard to find. I'm going to go to a specialty fastener outlet next week and see if I can find some in those smaller sizes. They should have them. The big box stores definitely don't. Or - break down and get the proper setting tool. Which does have a stroke setting so you don't over set them as one can easily do with the impact driver.

Thinking of using these on an install of a ladder rack on a pick up truck. Opinion? They would be for supplementary attachments.

I bought a tool that looks like that one (smittybilt) and its shit!!!! I'm guessing the air reviter for an air gun would be better. I'm going to watch your home made method and honestly I bet it's better then that store bought tool.

Well first time I used it I was gentle and the metal couldn't take the force of the normal operation of the item and bent. So I called on the phone had some not normal conversation and finally received a second item. Used that tonight and same problems, it worked a few time and really terrible design! The way you showed with the homemade one actually just knocks the tool right to the side! Its 100% game changer!!!! I appreate people helping keep youtube alive because it's honestly the best system I have seen in my life. T.v politics are a joke! The help people provide on youtube is a revolutionary system if kept in order and continued help by the filters so we can recieve videos like yours to keep our roads safe
