Product Details

The Dorman 963-263D rivet nut tool provides a simple, cost-effective solution for installing rivet nuts without expensive specialized equipment. This manual rivet setter is designed for SAE 5/16-18 threaded rivet nuts, making it ideal for automotive repairs, fabrication work, and assembly applications where traditional fastening methods aren't practical.

Key Features:

  • Corrosion-resistant steel construction for long-lasting durability
  • Precision-threaded to exact tolerances for proper fit and function
  • SAE 5/16-18 thread specification
  • Simple operation requires only a standard wrench
  • Includes one 5/16-18 rivet nut to get started
  • Eliminates the need for costly pneumatic or hydraulic rivet tools

How It Works:

Installation is straightforward: mount the rivet nut onto the tool's threaded bolt, insert the setter into the pre-drilled hole in your workpiece, then turn the bolt end with a wrench to compress and set the rivet nut securely. This creates a strong threaded insert in thin materials like sheet metal, plastic, or composite panels where traditional nuts and bolts cannot be used.

This tool is perfect for mechanics, fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts who need an occasional rivet nut installation solution without investing in expensive pneumatic equipment. The compact design makes it easy to use in tight spaces where larger tools won't fit.
