The fastener had gotten loose and the plastic finally broke completely off. I purchased a special repair kit from eBay but needed to completely replace the loose threaded nut that was factory riveted in the pillar. Removing it left a larger opening than I started with so I couldn't use a conventional nut and I needed a good riveter that was stout enough to use an oversized rivet and small enough to get into the space. This riveter met all my needs and continues to be useful. Since then I have replace all the nylon license plate nuts on my truck bumpers with good stainless steel nuts. Review: Sturdy, easy to use and most of all, VERY GOOD INSTRUCTIONS - PROS: - This rivet nut setter comes in a nice plastic case with very detailed instructions, written in perfect English. - Includes a very good selection of rivet nuts and the adapters to install them - Works quite well - but I also reviewed several YouTube videos because I have never used this tool before, so a visual guide helped - If you do not have an impact driver, this is the next best tool because the do-it-yourself versions where you use nuts and bolts and spacers look good in the videos but don't work very well if you do many CONS: - could be a little bit stronger metal, built a little sturdier but for the price it is better than I expected - the instructions disagree on one point: they specify that the tool can be only be used up to a specific rivet nut size but in another section they offer to sell additional sizes of the installation parts to install rivet nuts larger than the size advised. Please see my attached video, where I show how I use this tool! ## Features - New "Toolless Quick-Change Head" Design Allows For Easy Changing Of Mandrels And Nose Pieces By Hand - Disassembly Of Tool Never Required, Unique Spring Loaded Inner Hex Sleeve Automatically Locks The Rotation Of Hand Installed Mandrel - Shorter Handle With Double Compound Hinges Maximizing Leverage.

Please see my attached video, where I show how I use this tool! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice, easy to use *by A***M on May 15, 2019* This is a great tool for the money. Honestly, I had no Idea this even existed. Drill a hole and press in the insert and then you can screw in a bolt? Ha! I have to have this! Long familiar with pop-rivets, I am using this to add off-road accessories, repair old equipment, and otherwise bolt down ornery objects. The tool itself seems decent quality and is up to the task. It took me a few minutes to get the hang of changing the mandrel. The instructions also make clear that you should use the little plastic boxes and keep the mandrels separate and organized so that sizes don't get mixed. Including six common sizes and a collection of inserts, this will get you started. This tool will get light use, but is easy to use and cheap enough to buy for the occasional job. If I were going to use this every day, I'd buy a better one and spend more. For around the home and farm use, it's good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Astro Pneumatic Tool 1442 13" Hand Rivet Nut Setter Kit - Metric & SAE W/ 60pc Rivnuts - Astro Pneumatic Tool 1442-3/8-16A Mandrel and Nose Piece, Blue - Vifmy Metric & SAE Rivet Nut Assortment Kit(300 Pcs), M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 M10 M12#8-32#10-24 1/4"-20 5/16"-18 3/8"-16 304 Stainless Steel Rivnut Set UNC Flat Head Nutsert --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77410956-astro-1442-13-nut-thread-hand-riveter-kit](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77410956-astro-1442-13-nut-thread-hand-riveter-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
