Rivet Nut Installation Tool

[pirate]

Building a car and would like to be able to install some Rivet Nuts for a couple sheet metal panels that will have to be removed from time to time. Really don't want to use sheet metal screws. Looking for a good quality tool for limited use that won't break the bank. Any suggestions?

If you only have a couple of them, just use a bolt and nut for them. Screw the nut on them the Rivet Nut, then tighten the nut.

OK, I'll say it: How about the HF one? Item 1210 $16.99 and it even comes with some rivet nuts...

The HF tool works great. The rivets are a little thick lipped though. I use rivets from elsewhere. Menards sells the same tool even cheaper, around $12 i think
