To begin, this product has been developed to act as a bridge between the old ways of doing things (manual) and new technology (electric). It is a high-quality adapter designed to attach to most common drills (both corded and cordless) to make them high-speed rivet nut setters. This is accomplished through utilizing the rotational force/torque of your current drill. As such, it will eliminate both the physical demands typically placed upon users when manually setting rivets via rivet nut pliers, and the typical fatigue experienced by users when performing these functions repetitively. For example, this product may be useful in any situation where repetitive fastening is required, i.e., automotive repair, furniture assembly, etc., and metal fabrication. Additionally, this product is intended to allow users to quickly install threaded inserts into thin materials, and do so at a rate and level of precision never before possible without expensive, dedicated pneumatic equipment.
As the construction of this joint attachment, durability was the main focus. It is constructed with a high-strength alloy steel core and is encased in a reinforced outer housing. Therefore, it is able to withstand the extreme stresses created during the process of upsetting a rivet nut. The internal mechanisms include hardened parts that are resistant to wear from repeated use (hundreds of cycles), thus providing reliability for professionals who utilize their products repeatedly. In conjunction with the rugged construction is the fact that the tool is lightweight and portable in nature. This feature enables the user to transport the tool to job sites or use it in confined areas (e.g., tight spaces) where larger-handled manual tools would not fit. Although compact in nature, the tool has all of the necessary structural integrity to enable users to work with many types of materials, including aluminum, steel and stainless steel rivet nuts.
The overall objective of the user experience is based upon two philosophies: easy tool attachment and easy integration. The adapter contains a standard hex-shaped shank that fits into virtually all drills equipped with either a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch drill chuck. The hex shape prevents slipping during high-torque applications. After attaching the adapter to the drill, the operation becomes very straightforward: applying forward motion to the drill causes the mandrel to move inward causing the rivet nut to collapse. Applying reverse motion to the drill causes the tool to separate from the newly formed thread. This mechanical leverage ensures consistent pull each and every time, which is crucial to maintaining structural integrity in workpieces. Since the drill supplies the power to drive the adapter, users have better control of aligning the fasteners, resulting in a clean and professionally finished appearance that is perpendicular to the surface.
Along with having the ability to provide sufficient physical strength, the adapter also provides a substantial economical benefit for smaller companies and inpidual contractors. Users no longer need to purchase an additional electric riveter gun (which can be costly and require an additional battery system), but rather they can use an adapter that converts their existing drill (one they probably already own). The modular approach to owning tools will result in less clutter in the shop/workshop area and fewer logistical problems on-the-go. The kit generally comes with multiple mandrels of varying sizes and therefore making it a complete "all-in-one" solution for different fastener diameters. This versatility will ensure that regardless if you are assembling a light duty electronics casing or a heavy-duty automotive frame and you will always have the correct conversion head available immediately for usage.
Lastly, safety and precision were further improved by the ergonomic stability provided by the adapter. If utilized along with a side-handle drill, users can consistently exert steady pressure thereby decreasing the likelihood that the tool "jumps" or mars the surface of the material being worked on. The increased efficiency derived from utilizing an electric rivet nut drill adapter results in project completion at a much faster rate, thereby reducing labor hours on production lines or custom assemblies. Overall, this portable riveting tool accessory represents more than just a convenience; it is a professional-grade upgrade that will bring industrial-scale power to the palm of your hand; ultimately ensuring that every installation is completed rapidly, durably, and done so with unyielding quality.
