Product Information
Full details
This Eclipse Riveter Set (M3-M10) is designed for professionals and DIYers who need to efficiently create strong, permanent threaded fixings in materials like steel, aluminum, plastic, and wood. Its key benefit is the effortless setting of up to M10 Nutserts with enhanced power and minimal effort, even in restricted spaces. A minor caveat is that it's optimized for M3-M10 sizes, with larger sizes requiring a different tool.

FAQs
What is the maximum size Nutsert this tool can set?
This Eclipse Riveter Set is designed to set Nutserts up to and including the M10 size.
What materials can I use this tool on?
The tool is effective for inserting threaded nuts into steel, aluminum, plastic, and wood.
Do I need to access both sides of the material?
No, this riveter only requires access to one side of the workpiece to set the Nutsert.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the threaded insert tool, six interchangeable mandrels (M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10), and a multi-functional spanner.
How do I clean and maintain the tool?
Wipe the tool with a dry cloth after use, clean mandrels of debris, and lightly lubricate moving parts periodically. Store in a dry location.
Can I use this tool with stainless steel Nutserts?
Yes, the tool is suitable for use with steel, stainless steel, and aluminum Nutserts.
Are the mandrels easy to change?
Yes, the mandrels screw into the front of the tool and can be easily swapped out by hand or with the included spanner for tighter ones.
Troubleshooting
Nutsert not setting properly or spinning freely.
Ensure the correct mandrel size is being used for the Nutsert. Verify the hole diameter is appropriate for the Nutsert. Check for debris in the hole or on the mandrel. Squeeze handles with consistent, full pressure.
Riveter handles are difficult to squeeze.
Check that the mandrel is correctly seated and not cross-threaded. Ensure there is no debris on the mandrel or within the tool's mechanism. Lubricate the main pivot point if stiffness persists.
Tool feels loose or parts are rattling.
Check that all components, especially the mandrel, are securely threaded into the tool. Inspect for any loose screws or connections on the tool body, although this is rare with professional-grade tools.
Mandrel breaks during setting.
This is unlikely with proper use and the correct mandrel size. Ensure you are not attempting to set a Nutsert larger than the tool's capacity (M10). Excessive force on a correctly sized Nutsert should not cause breakage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate mandrel (M3 to M10) that matches the size of the Nutsert you intend to install. The mandrels are color-coded for easy identification.
- Screw the chosen mandrel into the front of the riveter tool.
- Thread the desired Nutsert onto the mandrel.
- Insert the Nutsert into the pre-drilled hole in your workpiece.
- Squeeze the riveter handles together firmly and continuously until the Nutsert is fully set.
- Once set, turn the knurled knob counter-clockwise to release the riveter from the installed Nutsert.
Compatibility:

- Suitable for insertion into materials including steel, aluminum, plastic, and wood.
Care:
- After each use, especially in dusty or dirty environments, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth.
- Periodically check the mandrels and tool threads for debris and clean as necessary.
- Lightly lubricate moving parts (like the main pivot) with a small amount of oil to ensure smooth operation.
- Store the tool and its mandrels in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.
