M6-1.0 Thread Size
These rivet nuts provide a M6-1.0 internal thread for steel assemblies where only one side is accessible. The pack contains eight pieces suited to automotive, fabrication and general repair tasks that require a permanent threaded insert.
Upgrade from self-tapping screws
Self-tapping threads in thin sheet metal often strip under vibration or repeated assembly. Switching to these rivet nuts is worthwhile when the joint must be dismantled for service or when the base material is too thin to hold a tapped hole reliably.
Simple blind-side installation
A standard rivet-nut tool pulls the mandrel to collapse the body against the rear face, forming a secure anchor in seconds. The most common issue is selecting a drill size that leaves the shank too loose, which prevents the nut from setting fully.

Questions about this item
What hole diameter does the M6-1.0 rivet nut require for installation?
Drill a hole that matches the M6-1.0 thread specification; the 18 mm length determines how deep the hole must be for full engagement.
Which tool sets the rivet nut, and what common step causes a loose fit?
Use an M6 rivet-nut setter; the step most often missed is applying steady pressure until the shank fully collapses before releasing the handles.
Will the zinc coating on these steel rivet nuts need replacement or re-coating over time?
The zinc finish protects the steel from corrosion; under normal conditions it lasts the life of the fastener without re-coating.
