NEXTACK 8" Rivet Nut Tool Kit — Right-Angle 8" Hand Riveter with 160 Nutserts, 8 Mandrels & Step Drill

The NEXTACK 8" Rivet Nut Tool Kit is a compact right-angle hand riveter with 160 threaded nutserts, eight interchangeable mandrels and a step drill bit for fast blind-rivet nut installation in tight spaces.

This kit combines a short 8-inch rivet nut tool built for confined places with a full set of threaded inserts and mandrels so you can add strong bolt-on attachment points to thin materials like aluminum, steel and fiberglass. Packaged in a compartmented case, the set includes a step drill bit for hole sizing, heat-treated mandrels and a reinforced aluminum body for long service life. The tool is designed for both mobile tradespeople and DIYers working on vans, RVs, bikes, metalwork or home projects.

How does this rivet nut kit work in narrow or awkward spaces?

The riveter's 8-inch right-angle profile lets you reach corners and confined panels where full-size tools won't fit. Its compact length shortens lever distance without sacrificing pulling force, enabling reliable nutsert setting in mid-size threaded inserts.

• 8" right-angle design for tight access
• Thick non-slip grips for controlled pulling
• Reinforced aluminum body resists flex under load

What hardware and sizes are included and why does that matter?

This kit supplies 160 carbon steel threaded nutserts—20 pieces per mandrel—for standard metric and SAE fasteners, plus eight interchangeable mandrels that accept a wide range of thread pitches. Having multiple mandrels and ample spare nuts saves time on multi-size projects and reduces downtime from worn mandrels.

• Metric: M3, M4, M5, M6 (pitches: 0.5/0.7/0.8/1.0 mm)
• SAE: 6-32, 8-32, 10-24, 1/4-20
• 160 total nutserts (20 per mandrel) and a step drill bit for hole prep

How durable and serviceable is the tool?

Key load-bearing parts are heat-treated for wear resistance—SCM435 Cr-Mo steel mandrels and blackened carbon-steel handles—while the body is made from reinforced aluminum alloy. The modular, detachable mandrel system makes maintenance and mandrel replacement straightforward when parts reach end of life.

• Heat-treated SCM435 mandrels and #50 carbon-steel handles
• Modular design for easy mandrel changes and maintenance
• Rotary knob for simple nut loading and release

What projects and materials is this kit suited for?

The NEXTACK rivet nut tool addresses applications where you need a bolt-ready threaded anchor in thin or hollow panels. Typical uses include vehicle interiors and walls, metalworking, RV and off-road modifications, bicycle mounts, and application on fiberglass or sheet metal where welds are impractical.

• Van and RV wall attachments, shelving and cabinets
• Bicycle or motorcycle accessory mounting and repairs
• Metalworking, small-scale fabrication and home upgrades

Who is this for: this kit fits technicians, mobile mechanics and DIYers who need a portable, reliable rivet-nut solution that reaches confined areas. It's especially useful when you require multiple thread sizes on a job, want spares to reduce interruptions, and prefer a tool designed for serviceability and field use. Note: this is a rivet nut (nutsert) tool, not a jack nut tool; mandrels are consumable and require correct technique to avoid damage.
