The AE10 Hand Tool for Blind Threaded Inserts is available in two models for regular size blind nuts and metric inserts.

The Low Profile Knurled Threaded Insert features a knurled body with a smaller diameter, reduced profile head to provide virtually flush installation without special hole preparation. Countersink drilling or dimpling of the parent material can be eliminated. During insertion, the knurled body expands 360° to fill the hole, creating exceptional torque strength and resistance to vibration. A backside flange is also formed, even in multiple thicknesses of materials without any need for adjustments. These inserts are to be used with Grade 5 or Metric 8.8/9.8 mating screws. All sizes available are listed on this page, in a representative sampling of materials, finishes and end options (Open Ends for most versatility, and Closed Ends to eliminate leakage past threads).

AL Type Inserts have a knurled body with a low-profile, large diameter head for maximum all-around strength and spin out resistance in drilled or punched holes. During insertion, the knurled body expands 360º to fill the hole, creating exceptional torque strength and resistance to vibration. A backside flange is formed, even in multiple thicknesses of materials without any need for adjustments. These inserts are to be used with Grade 5 or Metric 8.8/9.8 mating screws.

The Knurled Insert with Large Sealed Head combines all the features of the standard knurled inserts plus weathertight security provided by a PVC foam seal bonded to the underside of the head. These sealed inserts will withstand 50 PSI (3.4bars) of pressure and can be used in punched or drilled holes. During insertion, the knurled body expands 360º to fill the hole creating exceptional torque strength and resistance to vibration. A backside flange also forms, even in multiple thicknesses of materials without any need for adjustments.

Small Diameter Low Profile Blind Threaded Inserts have reduced profile heads and smaller diameter bodies to provide excellent spin out resistance in smaller holes or close to edge applications. During insertion, the insert's body expands 360º to fill the hole, thus creating exceptional torque strength and vibration resistance. A backside flange is also formed, even in multiple material thicknesses, without any need for adjustments.

BCT® Rivet Nuts by BBA Fastening Systems offer Bulge Control Technology (BCT®), a patented solution to control where the bulge forms when these rivet nuts are installed. This innovative technology creates the first rivet nut with optimal fitting for irregular and oversized holes.

BCT® Rivet Nuts are significantly stronger than standard ones. They provide safe, secure riveting in carbon fiber and composite material structures.

Closed End Insertnuts eliminate leakage past the threads from either side of the application.

The RIV790 Lithium Battery-Operated Tool can install inserts from #4-40 to 3/8" and M3 to M10 thread sizes.

RIV901 Tools allow users to transform round holes to hexagonal holes. Two kits are available in unified and metric sizes.

Hand Tools for Blind Threaded fasteners, like the RIV903 make it easier to install or service rivet nuts without an energy source.

The RIV905 is a Hydraulic Hand Riveter for Blind Threaded fasteners that makes it easier to install or service rivet nuts without an energy source. Designed for rivet inserts and studs, they can also be used for left-handed thread rivet nuts.

RIV912 Pull-To-Stroke Spin-Pull Tool provides powerful spin/pull action that easily installs MaxTite® fasteners.

The RIV916 Pull-to-Stroke for Plus+Tite® Inserts offers a long stroke to easily install the straight shank and pre-bulbed Plus+Tite® fasteners.

The Heavy Duty RIV916B Spin-Pull Tool offers the powerful spin/pull action needed to easily install large thread size inserts.

RIV938 Pull-to-Pressure Tools deliver consistent installations and longer mandrel life. This tool is available in unified or metric kits. RIV938 Pull-to-Pressure Tools are also sold individually, with nose pieces sold separately.

RIV938S Pull-to-Pressure Tools are small and lightweight, yet deliver consistent installations and longer mandrel life. This tool is available in unified or metric kits. RIV938S Pull-to-Pressure Tools are also sold individually, with nose pieces sold separately.

The RIV942 Pull-to-Pressure or Stroke Tool is a spin-pull tool with two different systems of regulation - pressure or stroke. It easily installs SpinTite® and MaxTite® fasteners.

RIV949 Vertical Hydro Pneumatic Pull-to-Pressure or Stroke Tools easily start an automatic stroke on the first pull. When hung on a balancer, this innovative tool makes vertical applications quicker and easier.

RIV990 and RIV991 Hexcutter Tools allow users to transform round holes to hexagonal holes. This enables a change from standard unified to FM™ full metric inserts.

The RIV998V Pneumatic Pull-to-Stroke Spin-Pull Tool easily installs SpinTite® and MaxTite® fasteners.

Heavy Duty Rivet Nut Inserts have a heavier head profile, thicker walls, and are cold formed for heavy duty use. They are ideal for leg leveling applications. These inserts can be installed before or after finish, with pneumatic/hydraulic tools or special rivet tools available directly through EFC International.

Series 800 SPIN-SPIN Pneumatic Tools are designed to provide reliable threaded insert, or rivet nut, installation without problems or difficulties. Five models of this series include 801, 802, 803, 804 and 806 tools. The 806 Model includes an adjustable clutch that allows installation of 4-40 to 1/4-20 thread sizes. The 801 and 802 Models offer the highest speeds at 3000 rpm and 1500 rpm, respectively. Optional thread sizes and mandrel lengths may be available. Please contact an EFC Representative at 1-800-888-3326 for more information.

Series 900 SPIN-SPIN Pneumatic Tools are designed to provide reliable threaded insert, or rivet nut, installation without problems or difficulties. The models of this series include 901, 902, 903, 904, 911, 912 and 913 tools. Models 901 through 904 offer an in-line tool design with the 901 and 902 models providing 3000 rpm and 1500 rpm, respectively. Models 911 through 913 are right angle tools with the 911 model offering the highest speed, 2200 rpm. Optional thread sizes and mandrel lengths may be available.

The Slotted Body Insert has been designed for use in plastics and thin gauge sheet metal applications where increased pull-out resistance is required. The round body has four slotted segments that fold outward from the hole center as the insert is installed, to grip the host material from the backside. They can be used in single, variable or multiple thicknesses of materials with no adjustments, when installed with proper hand or pneumatic torque tools. These inserts are standard with a round head, or order a square head to be used in embossed or molded square-shaped recesses for maximum spin out resistance.

S-Type Captive Threaded Stud Inserts function like the Knurled Blind Threaded Inserts, but leave a threaded stud protruding from the panel after installation. Components can then be attached and secured by a mating nut. These studs can be used in place of clinch or weld studs, before or after finish. Optional head designs include a weathertight PVC foam sealed head, or a wedged head for more torque capabilities. As these are installed, the knurled body expands 360º to fill the hole, creating exceptional torque strength and resistance to vibration. A backside flange is also formed, even in multiple thicknesses of materials without any need for adjustments.
