Got one of those tools but you can also just use a bolt and 2 nuts to secure the riv nut.

that would make sense, are they any good ?? as they say better than a self tapper.

Not got around to using them, But what I have read they are alot better.

I've used them a fair bit to add extras inside the back of transit vans and I have always found them very good, as long as the bodywork can stand the load you are planning to place on it
