MEMFast Launches Robust Low Cost Rivet Nut Hand Tool

MEMFast (Make Ends Meet Limited) has launched its own Hand Tool for the installation of Rivet Nuts and Rivet Studs.

This unique, robust hand tool is specially designed for the smaller user and workshop with each size of fastener having its own “installation kit” comprising collar and screw.

Features

• Robust design manufactured in the U.K. from high quality materials.
• Capable of installing M3 to M10 Rivet Nuts and M4 to M8 Rivet Studs in all materials.
• “Spin” action installation by turning the knurled knob and by using standard 10mm open or ring spanner.
• Conveniently packed partly assembled in plastic box measuring 140mm x 50mm square.
• Compact design measuring 130mm x 150mm when assembled (excluding installation kits).

Benefits

• 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 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” installation action.
• No tool adjustment is needed for different material thicknesses.
• Ideal for inconsistent thickness in materials such as fibreglass and GRP.
• Low cost providing a very short payback period.
• The tool can be fully assembled and installation kit attached in less than 30 seconds

To assemble the tool, the user simply :

• attaches the correct screw to the end of the spindle
• inserts it into the barrel so that the screw protrudes
• tightens the plastic support nut into the barrel, and
• connects the correct size outer collar.

The tool is now 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 standard 10mm hex drive protruding from the knurled knob to which a standard open ended or ring spanner can be attached.
