Trivd Frol 16" Rivet Nut Tool with 281-piece Kit 🛠️
Description:
This 16-inch rivet nut tool from Trivd Frol delivers higher leverage for installing threaded rivet nuts in sheet metal, plastic and wood, making it easier to work on automotive panels and furniture assembly. The kit combines a long-handled manual tool with a broad assortment of mandrels and rivet nuts so you can switch sizes on the job and tackle different fastener types without extra equipment.
Key Points
The tool uses a longer 16-inch handle to reduce effort when setting rivet nuts, and the ergonomic TPR grip helps comfort during extended use. It includes 15 interchangeable mandrels covering common metric sizes M3 through M12 and SAE sizes from 6-32 up to 1/2-13, which allows quick swaps by hand for different applications. 😊
A molded, rugged carrying case organizes the 281-piece rivet nut assortment and spare mandrels for transport and storage. The tool body is made from thick carbon steel with thermal treatment and a black phosphate finish to resist corrosion, and the U-shaped arm profile increases structural reliability to reduce the chance of bending under load. ⚙️
Consider that a 1/4-20 mandrel is preinstalled at delivery according to the manufacturer. Also note that heavy or industrial production runs may require a power or pneumatic unit rather than a manual tool for speed.

Usage Recommendations
For best results, choose the mandrel size that matches the rivet nut before starting and hand-thread it into the tool until secure. Apply steady, even pressure on the long handle to collapse the rivet nut and form the internal threads, and release slowly after the rivet is set. 😊
This manual nutsert tool is convenient for repair shops, DIY projects and occasional production tasks where portability and flexibility matter. For frequent high-volume installations it may be slower than powered options, so consider using a dedicated pneumatic rivet nut gun for repetitive commercial work.
