Kevin (Mr T) Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted in Stuff & Nonsense by mistake and don't know how to delete it! Anyway, to repeat myself: Can anyone suggest where I could go and pick up a tool and some rivnuts? Want to get one today, so that I can do a couple of jobs tomorrow! Quote
Terryathome Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Don't buy tool, make one. Don't know where in Essex you could get the nuts from but someone will know, even lend you some if desperate for today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfQIYLSKGwI&index=2&list=LLVNV5MyfWB3jdONIK7j3jBw 4 Quote
darve Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Good fasteners place on Manor Trading estate in benfleet. Pretty sure I've bought rivnuts from them before. Worth a call first to check Quote
tisme Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Unless someone has one locally they can lend you then you may struggle for tomorrow - you could try Amazon with an express next day delivery (but it'll cost you !!) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-0979-Nut-Riveter-Rivets/dp/B0012MEK24/ref=pd_cp_60_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0S7TYTKTGJY18M17PW1N Machine Mart do them but I think nearest ones to you are Southend or Ilford Quote
CraigHew Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 That video link in post #2 is worth a watch. Thanks for posting. Quote

DamperMan Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Mines a sealey one. Once you've popped you just can't stop. I use it loads. I bought a cheapy one as 90 degree handles and broke it on the 2nd nut. Quote
litcoat Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Car builder solutions have them on special offer at the moment but it only goes up to m6 Quote
jim_l Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I have the original , it is a high quality piece of kit, a doddle to use, and very effective. (Edited having re-read the post in question...doh) Quote
DamperMan Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Sealey so a short arm and long arm the long arm does up to m10 or 12 . Quote
Andy2000 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 I saw these at Stoneleigh a few years ago and bought the tool at a show discounted price. Not cheap but it seemed to be very well made and is easy to use. They also sell the rivnuts too. http://www.memfast.co.uk Quote
andyismilesaway Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Another thumbs up for the memfast one. Also comes in a case and up to m8. Also find myself looking for places to use rivnuts Quote
