MEMFast Launches Robust Low Cost Rivet Nut Hand Tool

Supplied partly assembled in a clear plastic two part box measuring only 140mm x 50mm square, the tool can be fully assembled and installation kit attached in less than 30 seconds. When assembled, the tool (excluding installation kit) measures a maximum of only 130mm x 150mm.

The action of the tool is “spin/spin” and the user simply attaches the correct mandrel to the end of the spindle, inserts it into the barrel, tightens the plastic nut into the barrel, connects the nosepiece and the tool is ready to use. If extra torque is needed over and above that offered by the knurled knob to install the Rivet Nut or Stud, there is a 10mm hex drive protruding from the knurled knob to which a standard open ended or ring spanner can be attached.

The main benefits of the tool can be summarised as :

· Robust engineering design and materials provide excellent performance and reliability.
· Compact design provides ease of access and use for even the most difficult of applications including small sheet metal workshops, kit car assembly and marine/boat building industry.
· Ease of use by simply turning the knob until correct installation has been achieved.
· Optimum installation of Rivet Nuts and Studs can be achieved using the “spin/spin” action. No tool adjustment is needed for different material thicknesses and it is ideal for materials such as fibreglass and GRP.
· Low cost providing a very short payback period.
