Yup, they are a car-hacker's best friend, and once you've got the gadget you'll be surprised how often the solution to a random problem around the house turns out to be more rivnuts :)

- mnd999 4y agoThank you, that actually made me laugh out loud. I’m getting funny looks now.
- throwaway0a5e 4y agoOnly if you DGAF about your stuff being serviceable in the long term. Rivnuts have the wonderful habit of going together like a bolt and coming apart like a rivet after only the slightest amount of corrosion gets applied. That tiny interface between the rivet nut and sheet-metal is no match for the surface area of the threaded joint once there is corrosion involved. Sure you can help it out with good material selection and some anti-sieze but dealing with a spun riv nut is a little more twice as onerous as dealing with a rivet the normal way.
