Review: Excellent rivnut tool - Bought this tool after reading the review here. I'm building a kit car and need to set a few dozen rivnuts into the chassis for mounting of brackets and other accessories. The tool does the job very well. Compared to the manual threaded rivnut tools, this works much faster and the fact that it sets most of the standard metric rivnuts makes it a rare tool. Last positive is the low cost. It rivals manual threaded tools in price and is almost as easy to use a hydraulic setter. EDIT 2013-08-03: I snapped the M6 stud in the kit. My fault for over stressing it. The tool has been out of warranty for a few months when I contacted Astro Tools wanting to purchase a replacement stud. They sent it free of charge, I didn't even have to pay for shipping! I would give this product 6 stars for customer service. Review: and it's easy enough to back the Mandrel out of the Riv-Nut ... - Vast Improvement over my older, more Traditional 90 degree style /Pop Rivet Gun Style Riv Nut Setter- You get more leverage with the long arms on this Setter, and it's easy enough to back the Mandrel out of the Riv-Nut that you just installed with the large, comfortable black plastic knob at the end of the tool. Kit comes with multiple Mandrels and Nose Pieces for installing Metric Riv-nuts. Very decent quality for the price- Hopefully it lasts since it works so well, we'd hate to have it break on us. One quick note, you'll need about a 3/4" clearance around any Riv-nut you're installing since the nose piece at the end of the tool is fairly large in diameter. For most flat/out-in-the-open work, this will never be an issue, but retro work where you don't have the option of how something is made or is possibly in your way, just plan ahead with the room required to make this tool get close to the surface of what you're installing the Riv-Nut into. ## Features - Works for rivet nuts in M5, M6, M8, M10, & M12 sizes in aluminum steel and stainless steel - Hand screw design for loading and unloading the nuts - Ergonomic handle design for user's comfort - Unique hidden spring design for the automatic return of the handles - Compact & lightweight; Overall Length: 13" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | Astro Pneumatic Tool | | Brand | Astro Pneumatic Tool | | Model | 1427 | | Item Weight | 2.75 pounds | | Product Dimensions | 14.2 x 8.9 x 3 inches | | Item model number | 1427 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Exterior | 26308005 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1427 | ## Images ![Astro 1427 Hand Rivet Nut Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pSBJKgDcL.jpg) ![Astro 1427 Hand Rivet Nut Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910eVVlhK2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent rivnut tool *by P***K on August 12, 2012* Bought this tool after reading the review here.

Great Price *by R***D on February 4, 2013* I bought this tool because I had about 10 rivnuts that I needed to install in carbon fiber and the standard cheap tool from harbor freight did not accommodate metric rivnuts. Considering that this tool costs the same or less than the price of an individual mandrel, the price on this tool is fantastic. Once I figured out how to use it, the tool worked great. It takes a little bit of elbow grease to use, but nothing that the average person couldn't handle. There were no instructions with the tool, which led to some frustration at first. First, changing out the mandrels is not entirely intuitive. For those struggling with this, make sure you pop off the circular dial in the middle. I nearly took apart the whole tool trying to change the mandrel. Second, it would have been good if there was some guidance on how far to screw the rivnut onto the mandrel in order to install properly. I tried screwing it on the entire way, but the handles are too wide apart - good luck getting them to close. Like another reviewer said, if you screw it on so that a little bit of the mandrel is sticking out past the rivnut, that should allow a clean install. Also, the case isn't very good. Parts don't fit in their spots very well, and move around once closed. Not a huge deal though, especially for the price. I installed about 10 of these into carbon fiber without damaging it. It would get a full 5 stars if it had come with instructions. --- ## 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.ae/products/1715588-astro-1427-hand-rivet-nut-kit](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1715588-astro-1427-hand-rivet-nut-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
