Hand nut riveters are versatile tools that can accommodate a range of rivet nut sizes, typically specified in terms of thread size and thread type. The most common rivet nut sizes for hand nut riveters include:

1.Thread Sizes: Hand nut riveters can handle a variety of thread sizes, including:

M3

M4

M5

M6

M8

M10

M12

These sizes are often associated with metric threads, which are widely used in many industries.

2.Thread Types: Hand nut riveters can also accommodate different thread types, with the most common being:

Standard (also known as coarse or UNC threads)

Fine (UNF threads)

3.Other Common Sizes: In addition to the metric sizes mentioned above, some hand nut riveters may be compatible with rivet nuts in inch-based sizes, such as #6-32, #8-32, #10-24, and 1/4"-20, among others.

The specific sizes that a particular hand nut riveter can accommodate may vary depending on the tool's design and the manufacturer. It's essential to consult the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines for your specific hand nut riveter to determine the range of rivet nut sizes it can handle. Additionally, you should use the appropriate mandrel or nosepiece for the selected rivet nut size to ensure proper installation.

Keep in mind that while hand nut riveters are versatile, there are limits to the size and type of rivet nuts they can handle. If you need to work with larger or specialized rivet nuts, you may need to consider using more robust tools such as pneumatic or hydraulic rivet nut guns, which can handle a wider range of sizes and provide greater installation force.
