Troubleshooting
The rivet nut isn't crimping properly.
Ensure you're using the correct tip size for the rivet nut. Check that the rivet nut is fully inserted and the tool is applying sufficient pressure. If problems persist, try a new rivet nut.
The tool feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Lubricate the moving parts of the tool with a light oil. Check for any obstructions or debris that might be causing friction. Ensure the handles are properly aligned.
The rivet nut is spinning and not setting.
Make sure the hole size is correct for the rivet nut. If the hole is too large, the nut may spin. Also, ensure the rivet nut is of the correct material type for the application.
