Pneumatic rivet nut gun is an air-powered tool used to install rivet nuts (rivnuts / nutserts) into metal, plastic, or composite materials.
It uses compressed air instead of manual force, making installation faster, easier, and more consistent.
The tool installs threaded inserts (rivet nuts) into thin materials so bolts can be attached later.
Material is too thin to tap threads
You only have access from one side
After installation, the rivnut becomes a permanent threaded hole.
1. Screw the rivet nut onto the tool's threaded mandrel.
2. Insert the rivnut into a pre-drilled hole.
3. Pull the trigger.
4. The pneumatic system pulls the mandrel, collapsing the rivnut behind the material.
5. The tool automatically unscrews the mandrel, leaving a threaded insert.
The process usually takes 1-2 seconds.
