Re:When are rivet nuts an ideal choice for an application? (... by sly010 on Wednesday July 27, 2022 @09:48AM (#32250356)
One issue with them, (specifically the crossnut variety) is if you don't use the correct tool a crossnut might start spinning in the metal. If that ever happens when your final bolt is already in, it's like having a nut on the blind side. You can't unscrew the bolt. Otherwise they are great, just but the right settings tool and drill the right size hole.
