Garage Shop: Tools

Check out McMaster-Carr as well.

I've bought a couple from them.

 

All you need is a couple bolts and some washers to squash them in place. Don't NEED a fancy tool.

 

I tried that with the rivets for my Mobtown tailgate plate. About a quarter of them wouldn't tighten enough not to spin. More than that pulled crooked an wouldn't straighten. I couldn't get them to tighten by hand without spinning. I had to use my 1/4" impact.

I bought a rivnut tool, and now they're all tight. A few are still crooked, but some of them straightened up.

 

You don't NEED one, no, but it sure is a hell of a lot easier. Thread it on, squeeze, unthread the tool, done.

one i was looking at and is in my "save for later" folder

 

That looks the same as the one I bought, but it was listed under a different brand.

 

What's the point of this thread, then??

 

Yeah it was sold under a few brands, I think I bought this one because it had a coupon or something to make it even cheaper haha. When I looked though these ones had the most mandrel sizes included with it.

 

Those things work pretty good.. been trying to find a set that won’t get me killed

 

Made this the other day. Meant to post it..

 

Since this, I've used them probably 6-8 more times. I can't recommend them enough, they work super well and not sketchy at all if you don't use an impact on them.

 

Been there.. to many times..

 

Mine might have had a discount. I don't remember now. For mine all the different mandrels came in separate holders, so each one is self contained. The holders are injection molded and have the thread embossed on them.

 

Harbor freight recently started carrying one as well.

 

Oh shoot I love harbor freight, gonna have to check that one out! Thanks

 

I picked up a few tools for doing rear bearings. Hope they work, seem to be beefy!

 

My latest addition, arrived today. Super massive overkill for my truck but fuck it.

 

I would not want to but fuck that bad boy!
