Rivet nut / nut insert tools

Sure, you need anti-spin when your tool is turning the bolt in the insert to compress it.



The nice thing about the Sherex tool is that the bolt in the insert doesn't spin. So no anti-spin technique is needed.

Can someone please enlighten me here... I've used Nutserts for years, but these Rivnuts are new to me. From the pictures I've need, I'm not quite sure how the Rivnuts work. The tools I've used for Nutserts are ok for the smaller sizes, as John has said. But for the larger ones, then are a pain.

Is there a case where you would use a Rivnut instead of a Nutsert? Or vice versa? Trying to understand what the real difference in the two are...

Thanx!
