[QUOTE="thill, post: 513787, member: 4972"] Not sure what kind I had, heavy or light duty. Mine was indeed in thin sheet metal, and I'm not convinced that the tool that installed them was that great. Looked basically like a pop-rivet gun. The whole kit, with a variety of rivnuts and dies for them cost maybe $35, if I recall correctly. After having an issue with at least half of them, I stopped using them altogether. But mine did NOT have anything near 3/8". It may have had 1/4" as the largest. 3/8", installed correctly into thicker, stronger material might indeed be a decent connection. I would never know, as I stopped using mine years ago. I see it in the toolbox every once in a while, and I shift it aside, looking for real tools. This being my story, perhaps I'm not the best person to ask about them. It's been years, and perhaps they are better nowadays. [/QUOTE]
