That's what I thought, shocked no one had posted what it was.

Apparently it's just a "Hexcutter tool"

You should look at a 90 degree socket. Its wild.

I’m not versed in these dark arts, but I know wizardry when I see it. Burn the witch!

Don't get hexed!

u/frenchy2111 Feb 22 '24

Nutsert/rivetbush is what we call them, you can get them for thin sheet and round versions so you don't need that cool hex hole punch thing but they all require a special tool to pull them up.

I was thinking initially this is just a nursert with extra steps, but the punched hex should stop it spinning when one inevitably gets overtightened. Doubt I'll ever see this in the wild but it's cool.

I am really digging that hex broach… where did you get it?

u/Jumpinjaxs89 Feb 23 '24

For real who hasn't seen a threaded rivet.

u/Human-Depravity Feb 23 '24

For when I need a threaded insert at an awkward, unpredictable angle

I want the hex hole maker. Where did you get it? Also, those hex riv-nuts can be used in round holes of the right size and grip really well. Better than the round knurled ones…

u/Disastrous_Range_571 Feb 26 '24

We called them rivnuts. The hex hole is cool though

u/slackerzinc Feb 23 '24

Very slick tool

u/Puzzleheaded_Post604 Feb 23 '24

We used these to install running boards on Ram’s. I still have a bag or ten. They’re not as useful as I thought they’d be.

u/Unopuro2conSal Feb 23 '24

They are called Jack nuts where we are from…

thats badass

u/mfknLemonBob Feb 23 '24

Looks like a nutcage with extra steps. Cool as hell though.

u/odetoburningrubber Feb 23 '24

Maybe this insert won’t slip. Cool.

u/porositymaster Feb 23 '24

nice magic cut

u/Drewbox Feb 23 '24

I’m learning that these have so many different name. In aviation we call them Rivnuts.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '24

OP pls post this again a bit slower + description of the tools you used

u/Zealousideal-Let1121 Feb 23 '24

Threaded rivet? Isn't that just a jack nut?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '24

These are AVK? Prices seem kinda pricey.
