2. Selecting and Installing the Mandrel and Nosepiece

Select the appropriate mandrel and nosepiece combination for the specific blind nut rivet size (M3-M12) you intend to install. The tool comes with 7 mouthpieces to cover this range.

  1. Unscrew the existing nosepiece and mandrel, if any.
  2. Thread the correct mandrel into the tool until it is finger-tight.
  3. Thread the corresponding nosepiece onto the tool, ensuring it is securely fastened.
Step 2: Threading the rivet nut onto the mandrel
