Looking for recommendations on a quality rivet nut tool. Thanks…Mike

The one I have works great. Had to start a parts box for all the rivnuts I have.

ETA just remember it is not going to make a pop sound unless you break it.

How big a ruvnut do you need to set?

Not really sure, looking the tool to have.

You need to have an idea of what sizes and materials you are going to use and what your volume will be.

Can do much better than that.

I also have the Astro 1443B. Ive found the pistol style to be much easier to use than the two handled type.

I have two sizes of the Astro and they work good

I have one of the Astro lever setters. I didn't go for the XL model, but that's probably where I would look if I needed something bigger. All my uses are occasional and low volume.

Astro has this tool segment covered. They have more versions and sell more rivet nut tools than anybody and the price is right. Nothing to not like.

The Astro drill drivers are wonderful.!!

I have the Astro manual driver and I like it most of the time. Its great for flat work where you have a lot of access, but I have found that most of the projects where I am putting in rivnuts, I don't have a lot of access. Still use the Astro driver, but eventually, would love to have a Cherry or Huck pneumatic driver.

I used Cherry & Huck pneumatic drivers in school and they are far superior and ensure a much more secure, complete installation than manual drivers! They are quite a bit more expensive, but if you are doing a lot of rivnuts, definitely worth it!

Just my two cents!
