Not sure what it is called...

Nov 05, 2003 4 Replies

Instead of drilling a hole and tapping threads into it, there is a tool that crimps a brass insert into the hole that is already threaded (I think it is called a "rev-nut"). What is this tool called and where can I find them? Thanks.

they sell them in the J.C. whitney catalog for about twice the price that they sell them in Harbor Freight and other discount places......
