chirp Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Just aquired a bunch of my dads tools and such (incl a mini lathe) and I'm like WTF? Still sorting thru it, lots of fun and curious items from the mind and life of an old Boeing man. Quote
No. 13 Baby Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Rivnuts were almost universally replaced by deeznuts in the early 1990s. Quote
snoboy Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 The ultralight pop can stove crowd use them for filler caps, I think!? Quote
thelawgoddess Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 i could probably have used one of those tools there a month or so ago - i had to buy one at tacoma screw for an ungodly sum of money. so ... YES ... rivnuts are still used. if for nothing else, four of them are used in the installation of a roof ladder on a land rover discovery. Quote
lI1|1! Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 i recently used one of these to replace the rivets i pulled out in the process of repairing something on a hobie cat. drilling out the old rivets can be a hassle. i think it would be funny as f*ck if you went door to door asking people if you needed them to fix their old aluminum beach chairs.

chirp Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 Just found a few more items, any ideas? The book looks a bit deep for me tho. Quote
