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.

I want to use these to make a perpendicular threaded insert on a round tube. How would these hold in a curved surface? Maybe a nut with a long knurled section and a washer with a radius of the pipe under the lip of the zert.

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.

You kinda answer my concern about installing an aftermarket roof rack on my nissan frontier truck. 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

I see this type diy rivet nut insert tool works for you and others here on KZbin but it hasn't worked for me. I tried this type tool/method with 10-24 zinc plated steel rivet nuts. It keeps spinning the rivet nut off when I tighten to crush it. I tried waxing the washers... then tried putting grease on the washers. Yet it still wants to spin the rivet nut off. I haven't gotten one to work yet. I'm going to have to try the other type where you tighten the bolt on an oversized nut or just buy a proper tool.

@@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.

Good one. But its easier if you use a ratchet and socket on the to as its stay on better and you can put downward force on it easier. Also it EVEN BETTER if you use a hex head bolt as then you can slide the ring end of the spanner (or ratchet spanner FTW) over the head of the bolt and not use the pesky "open" spanner end. Cheers.

Thanks for the video. I am trying to set some and it is really eating me up. They are 1/4-20 and I have twisted the head off a grade 8 bolt. That is ok though, only 60 more to go....

@@VideoShowMeHow I have the Surebonder 8510, but it is crap or I suck at it. I broke the 10-24 and the 1/4-20 mandrels. I only got 3 set of the 10-24 then switched to the 1/4-20. I was able to set 12 of those before it broke. I ordered a couple replacements of each, but I am not hopeful. I have had mixed results with the method you show, but your video gives me hope. : )

Yeah, it doesn't work on 5/16" steel rivnuts. Can't prevent the rivnut from spinning along with the nut. Oh well, it was worth a shot

Bigger they are the harder it is without the proper tool unfortunately, try with an extra washer and/or a little lube.. gotta really push down if that makes sense. I had a heap of bigger ones to do and ended up ebaying the tool 😁

Would it help if you hammer or press a dimple into the hole for the rivnut? You would have to tap the rivnut in with a hammer probably, but it may keep it from spinning.

I was thinking about this, I think your design works on plusnuts too. if you use an electric impact, substitute the nut for a coupler nut so it's longer you could weld a handle onto it so you don't have to worry about the wrench falling off. your design would be better than a real rivnut or plusnut tool because of the impact gun, no muscle needed. than to prevent the rivut/ plusnut from spinning you can tack weld the top of the plusnut to the metal frame. dude this design is genius, sorry I doubted you. also you could just weld a non- coated steel nut to the frame and forget about rivnuts. also weld a square piece/ large washer to the frame first and weld the nut on top, that way you increase the surface area so the nut has a stronger foundation. also a warning to never weld galvanized nuts and washers, it will kill you. plain uncoated steel only

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
