Best Rivet Nuts of 2025

"I found this tool super simple to use and it created a very secure nut-sert that I trust won't fail. It really paid for itself with the time I saved!"

"As someone who had never used a rivet nut tool before, I was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to use, and I appreciated the heavy material which gave it a solid feel. It does get a bit tricky in tight spots, but overall, I'm excited to find more projects for it!"

"I originally left a review about the poor quality, but the company's customer service reached out to me and sent a replacement. The fact that they cared enough to contact me and ask how to make things right is worth more than any tool. I'm impressed and will definitely return!"

"I recently bought these rivet nuts for attaching burglar bars to my business windows, and I’m thoroughly impressed with their performance. The quantity provided was ample, ensuring I had enough to complete my installation. The yellow zinc-plated finish not only looks professional but also offers excellent corrosion resistance, which is crucial for my outdoor application. The flat head design ensures a flush fit, and the knurled body gives me a secure grip. The installation was straightforward, and I feel confident knowing my windows are securely protected. I highly recommend these for anyone needing reliable fasteners."

"I used these rivet nuts (size: 1/4" -20) to attach lumber onto a steel cart for my modular outdoor kitchen. They worked perfectly without any issues. Just a tip: the mounting hole size needed is one step larger. I had to drill 3/8" holes for the 1/4" rivet nuts. I also used an Aoeben 14" rivet nut tool with a 1/4" mandrel, and it worked great—no tear-outs or loose nuts!"

"I purchased these Wensilon rivet nuts for a DIY project, and their quality is excellent! The yellow zinc-plated finish not only looks great but provides good corrosion resistance for long-term use. The knurled body design ensures a secure grip, and the precise threading made installation smooth. They worked perfectly with my tools and provided a strong hold. Overall, I think these rivet nuts are a fantastic choice for anyone working on metal or industrial projects."

"This tool did exactly what I needed. I made sure to drill slightly larger than the nut cert and double-checked that my bolt fit the specified nut before installation. It's a fantastic kit with both metric and imperial sizes. I believe it's well worth the money and is of very good quality."

"I truly love this tool! I've tried various methods to install a blind nut, but this tool made the process incredibly quick—just seconds to get it done. It's a game-changer for me."

"I needed this for a particular project, and it performed flawlessly. I appreciated that it came with some nuts to get started. This will definitely be a handy tool for future projects."

"I think the variety of sizes is impressive. The quality seems high and they are functional. I can install them without a tool, which is a bonus!"

"From my inspection, the quality appears to be quite good. The shoulder is a nice size, ensuring a good fit on my stock."

"I received my order in good condition with what looks like quality inserts. I haven't used them yet, but I'm eager to try them out."

"These rivet nuts are zinc coated, which should help with rust resistance. Not sure how long that lasts, but so far, they are a good value and I would consider buying them again."

"I found these to be quality made and durable. They pulled easily and worked great, though I had some trouble finding the right drill size for the panel."

"What can I say? They do exactly what I need. No issues at all, and there's a good amount in the pack. I will definitely be buying more!"

"I am 100% satisfied with these rivet nuts. They perform excellently, and the threads hold up well during installation."

“These arrived quickly and work effectively. I wish I had considered they are stainless, as their installation was a bit tougher. After trying various YouTube methods, I eventually borrowed the installation tool from a friend.”

“This kit is perfect for my needs. With much of the large-scale manufacturing equipment being produced overseas, I often require metric tools. These are particularly handy for safety covers and fixing stripped threads. I highly recommend this kit; you won't be let down. Just a note: I already have a rivnut gun, so if you don’t own one, you’ll need to buy it separately. Luckily, they offer both the gun and the kit together!”

“These inserts are excellent for harsh conditions. They perform just like standard steel inserts but are resistant to rust. Just a heads up, you'll need an installation tool to make them work.”

"I used these the day they arrived. Just what I needed for putting new bolts in old places."

"The kit is nice, but mine arrived upside down, which caused the case to bow out and mixed up the rivets."

"For the price, it's definitely worth it considering the amount you receive."

"I appreciate how easy they are to use for extensive metal repairs. I've repaired everything from metal doors to hot tubs with them!"

"Sorting through 800 pieces was a bit challenging, especially the #6, 8, and 10 sizes that are tough to differentiate by eye."

"I found it hard to find a tool that accommodates all sizes, especially at Harbor Freight, but these do work for standard sizes."

"I really like the product, but you need to drill the hole perfectly for it to function well."

"The product arrived on time, but unfortunately, it didn't come with all the pieces, and the cord feels very weak, causing it to not tighten properly."

"I've only used a few so far, but they seem to be of decent quality and the price is great."

"I used these to put in the nuts on my John Deere garden tractor muffler. After drilling out the old threads, I installed the new nuts, and now I have a lifetime supply of every size I could ever need. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials on how to do this!"

"This kit had exactly what I needed and I love the wide variety of riv nuts. Definitely worth the purchase!"

"I had an issue with the case quality during shipping, as the dividers came loose and the rivnuts mixed together. It took me a while to sort them out by size. I also noticed I was shortchanged on two parts for the largest sizes. After my review, the seller contacted me and offered a full refund."

"The instructions said to drill the nut hole two sizes larger, but I’m glad I only went one size up. This made it fit well! Overall, I really love the tool; it's super easy to use!"

"I switched from an aluminum version and found this one to have a much better feel. It did not strip the threads while using it on my PVC fencing for hinges and gate brackets. Works great!"

"These rivet nuts are strong and fit exactly. I use them on thin gauge metal for a solid connection where metal screws aren't sufficient. They’re perfect for replacing stripped license plate nuts and making great ground connections."

"I needed some 1/4-20 rivet nuts since my collection was all metric. These will be really useful for sheet metal mounting on my International backhoe."

"I can’t seem to have enough of these rivet nuts; I use them all the time. My favorite size is the 1/4" -20."
