FAQs

What sizes of rivet nuts can the RP110 install?

The RP110 is designed to install M3, M4, M5, and M6 size rivet nuts.

What materials are the tool's body and lever made from?

The tool features a die-cast aluminum body and a forged steel lever for durability.

Does the tool come with rivet nuts?

The RP110 rivet nut tool itself does not typically include a starter set of rivet nuts. These are usually purchased separately.

How do I change the nosepiece for different rivet nut sizes?

Use the integrated wrench to unscrew the current nosepiece and install the one corresponding to the rivet nut size you are using.

What is the main advantage of using rivet nuts compared to regular rivets?

Rivet nuts provide a threaded insert, allowing for screws to be fastened into them, and they can be removed. Regular rivets are permanent fasteners.

Is this tool suitable for professional or DIY use?

Yes, the RP110's durable construction and ease of use make it suitable for both professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts.

How should I maintain the RP110 for optimal performance?

Keep the tool clean, lubricate moving parts periodically, and store it in a dry environment. Regularly inspect the jaws for wear.

Troubleshooting

Rivet nut does not deform properly

Ensure the correct size nosepiece and mandrel are installed. Check that the rivet nut is fully seated on the mandrel. Verify you are using the correct size rivet nut for the application and material thickness.

Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate

Clean any debris from the tool's moving parts. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the lever mechanism and mandrel. Check for any obstructions.

Rivet nut spins after insertion

The hole may be too large for the rivet nut. Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size for the specified rivet nut. The material may be too thin to grip the rivet nut effectively.

Mandrel breaks during use

Ensure the rivet nut is fully threaded onto the mandrel before insertion. Do not over-tighten or apply excessive force beyond what's needed to deform the rivet nut.
