The ST‑6902 is a pneumatic (air‑driven) nut insert riveting tool - often called a rivet‑nut tool or threaded‑insert installation tool. According to the manufacturer, it installs round or hex rivet‑nuts (also known as nut‑inserts) into sheet‑metal or other workpieces.
Features
:- Versatile rivet‑nut size compatibility : Handles a broad range of round and hex nut inserts (¼″ up to M10) which makes it flexible for multiple product lines.
- Pistol‑style ergonomic body & one‑finger trigger : The design includes a comfortable handle and easy trigger control for forward/reverse operation.
- Side exhaust : Keeps exhaust airflow away from operator and workpiece.
- Compact size for industrial use : With overall length approx. 226 mm (8.9″) and moderate weight, the tool is suited for assembly work where space or access is not extremely tight but still industrial.
- High‑flow air consumption for strong installation force: Since it consumes ~8 cfm, it can deliver sufficient force and speed for installation of nut‑inserts in metal sheets.
- Industrial grade build : Designed for repeated cycles in manufacturing/assembly; accepts user‑specified nose assemblies for whatever insert size being used.
Applications
:- Installation of threaded nut‑inserts (rivet‑nuts) in sheet‑metal or fabricated components: e.g., attaching brackets, panels, frames in automotive, appliance, electronics or HVAC manufacturing.
- Assembly lines where many identical fasteners need installing quickly and consistently, enabling higher throughput and reduced manual torqueing.
- Maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) work where retrofitting or repairing existing sheet‑metal assemblies is needed (e.g., replacing stripped holes with nut‑inserts).
- Fabrication workshops where light to moderate structural components require threaded insert installation rather than weld‑nuts or self‑tapping screws.
- Any manufacturing context where accessible from one side only (blind‑side) and nut‑insert installation is preferable: e.g., enclosure assemblies, cabinets, chassis, furniture frames.
- Service/installation work in field or on‑site where a robust, pneumatic tool can reliably install rivet‑nuts in metal or composite panels.
