Astro Pneumatic Tool PRN1 3/8" Capacity Pneumatic Rivet Nut Setting Kit - Metric & SAE

Works as it should. I all but stopped using nutserts with my old hand held tool. Now I’m back to using them more than ever with the ease and simplicity of this pneumatic tool.

I'm trying to avoid buying more tools but I had a fairly big job that required quite a few rivnuts. Being not so young anymore I didn't want to have to do all the rivnuts bu hand so I went out on a limb and purchased this. It worked perfectly! I knew nothing about setting rivnuts but I found setting it up to be pretty easy, some instructions would be nice though. After well over a hundred rinvuts, I have no complaints and now I am dreaming up how to use rivnuts in other jobs. Very happy with this tool.

4 star just because it may have been user error. First time to use it, put the 1/4 mandrel in and started off. First 4 nuts worked perfectly, the fifth did not. In fact, the mandrel never moved. Took it back apart and found the mandrel had backed out of the holder and semi-stripped the first couple of threads on the mandrel. Cleaned it up (who has reverse thread tap and dies??), and put it back in as tight as I could. That worked. Next 10 nuts went perfectly. One word of warning: the mandrel handle moves and will easily catch the back of your hand if you're "choked up" on the trigger. This isnt a pistol- move your hand down. Twice bit before I got the technique. It hurt! Otherwise, solid piece of equipment so far.

This rivet nut tool works exactly like it should. Plenty of power, super easy to use, and it handles both metric and SAE sizes without a hitch. The quick unthreading feature is a nice bonus, and it feels solid in the hand. Great value for the price—definitely a 5-star tool in my book.

Works great I've had no issues use it just about every day in the shop ,I would definitely recommend it

This tool was well worth it. Solid installs of a hundred or so rivet nuts, no complaints. Glad I bought it. I was surprised to find it difficult if not impossible to get M3 mandrills though. Still looking.

Well priced for home use. Tired it in a work environment. And didn’t hold up as well. Wore it out in 6 months, but my business uses several hundred rivets a day. But for the price I just buy another one.

As Cousin Eddie famously said, “it’s a high quality item.” Easy to change mandrels and consistent nutsert setting every time. Have used with multiple types and sizes of nutserts, including zinc, stainless and aluminum. Worked great with all. Highly recommended!
