🔩 How it works:
1️⃣ Drill a hole
2️⃣ Insert the rivnut
3️⃣ Compress it → it expands and locks in place

💡 Why engineers love them:
• Works in thin metal & plastic
• No access to the back side needed
• Creates reusable threads
• Used in cars, aerospace, robotics, DIY builds

Once installed, it acts like a built-in nut—clean, strong, and removable.

Engineering isn’t always about bigger parts… sometimes it’s smarter ones.
