Follow these steps to properly install a rivet nut using your AKKTOL tool:

  4. Set the Rivet Nut: Firmly and steadily squeeze the handles of the tool together. You will feel resistance as the rivet nut deforms and creates a bulge on the blind side of the material, securing itself in place. Continue squeezing until the rivet nut is fully set and the tool's stroke is complete.
