You can buy a Silverline tool for rivnuts for not a lot

I did notice somebody mention cheap tools in the Amazon reviews
for rivnuts, but said that they got better results by screwing a bolt
through, then holding the bolt in place with one spanner while using
another to tighten a nut down onto a couple of washers on the rivnut.

The silverline tool is OK but no better than that, I could feel/hear the
tool destroying itself as I set a handful of rivnuts, I might just be a
ham-fisted gorilla but it's not the first time one of their tools has
been worse for wear before its first job is completed - I tend to regard
their products as cheap and almost disposable.
