Kinchrome Rivnut tools
I have both Kinchome Rivnut tool sets.
I have found that non splined riv nuts may turn, and have spent ages trying to remove the tool head from the newly inserted rivnut. Too much compression on land rover defender panels can distort the rivnut with associated screw issues.
I had to purchase the second cheaper Kinchrome set as I buggered the thread on the M6 tool trying to hold the rivnut from inside the front fender space with pliers, so as to remove the tool threaded end from a turning rivnut.
If you do a good insertion, it's a thing of beauty, spinning or over compressed riv nuts are a pain in the backside.
If you can, play with some old sheet metal to get the hang of it.
The Kinchrome kits are very good by the way.
