The Artec Rivnut Tool turns rivet nut installation into a two-minute job with an impact driver — no dedicated rivnut gun required. Rivet nuts (threaded inserts) are how you add strong bolt-in mounting points to sheet metal, frames, and brackets when you cannot reach the back side to hold a nut, and they show up constantly in armor, skid plate, and accessory installs. This laser-cut steel tool sets the two most common sizes: insert the rivnut, align the matching hole, thread in the included Grade 8 bolt, and compress it tight with the impact.
Features
- CNC laser cut from 1/8" steel for durability
- Angled ends with a 1/4" hole and a 3/8" hole for the two common rivnut sizes
- Runs off a standard impact driver — no specialty rivnut gun needed
- Includes two 3/8"-16 and two 1/4"-20 Grade 8 hex bolts to draw inserts tight
- Compact enough to live in a trail tool kit
- Reusable across unlimited installs
This is a universal fabrication tool with no vehicle fitment to check — just match your rivnut size (1/4" or 3/8") to the corresponding hole. It pairs naturally with bolt-on armor projects, and it earns a spot next to the Artec Tire Tool Tray in a trail repair kit. Find more shop gear in replacement axle parts and tools and the wider Artec Industries lineup.

Rivnut Tool FAQs
What rivnut sizes does it install?
The tool has two angled ends, one with a 1/4" hole and one with a 3/8" hole, so it sets 1/4" and 3/8" rivet nuts — the two sizes you will meet on most armor, skid plate, and accessory installs. Match the insert to the corresponding hole and you are set.
Do I need a rivnut gun or any special tooling?
No. That is the point of this tool: insert the rivnut, align the hole, thread in the included Grade 8 bolt, press the tool flat against the surface, and run the bolt with a standard impact driver to compress the insert. No dedicated rivnut gun required.
What hardware comes with it?
It ships with two 3/8"-16 tpi and two 1/4"-20 tpi Grade 8 hex bolts — the strong hardware you need to draw inserts tight without stripping threads. The 1/8" laser-cut steel tool itself is reusable across unlimited installs.
