4. Setup

4.1. Rivet Nut Tool BT607 Setup

1. Identify the correct mandrel and nosepiece size that matches the rivet nut you intend to use.
2. Unscrew the existing nosepiece and mandrel from the tool if different.
3. Thread the appropriate mandrel into the tool.
4. Screw on the matching nosepiece until it is secure.

4.2. Hollow Wall Anchor Tool BT910 Setup

The Hollow Wall Anchor Tool BT910 requires no specific setup beyond selecting the correct molly bolt size for your application. Ensure the molly bolt's screw is backed out approximately 1/4 inch before insertion into the wall.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Operating the Hollow Wall Anchor Tool BT910

The AKKTOL Hollow Wall Anchor Tool BT910 is designed for installing molly bolts in thin or hollow walls such as drywall and plasterboard (0.12"-1.52" thickness). Molly bolts provide strong holding power, up to 65 lbs, for hanging various objects.

1. Drill a Hole: Using an appropriate drill bit, drill a hole through the wall at the desired location. The hole size should match the diameter of the molly bolt body.
2. Insert Molly Bolt: Insert the molly bolt into the drilled hole until its flange is flush with the wall surface. Ensure the screw is backed out about 1/4 inch.
3. Position Setting Tool: Place the setting tool over the head of the molly bolt's screw.
4. Expand Anchor: Squeeze the handles of the setting tool firmly. This action will expand the wings of the molly bolt behind the wall, creating a secure anchor. Continue squeezing until the tool feels firm and the anchor is fully expanded.
5. Remove Tool: Release the tool from the molly bolt.
6. Secure Object: Attach your desired object using the molly bolt's screw.

5.2. Operating the Rivet Nut Tool BT607

The AKKTOL Rivet Nut Tool BT607 is designed for installing threaded rivet nuts (nutserts) in various materials, including aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. Its 16-inch handles provide increased leverage for easier installation, especially for larger sizes.

1. Attach Rivet Nut: Fully open the handles of the rivet nut tool. Thread the selected rivet nut onto the mandrel until it is snug against the nosepiece.
2. Insert into Hole: Insert the rivet nut into the pre-drilled hole in your workpiece.
3. Deform Rivet Nut: Squeeze the handles of the tool together firmly and steadily. This action will pull the mandrel, deforming the rivet nut and creating a bulge on the blind side of the workpiece, securing it in place.
4. Release Tool: Once the rivet nut is set, loosen the knob on the tool to release the mandrel from the now-threaded rivet nut.
5. Secure Attachment: You can now use a bolt to secure an attachment to the newly installed threaded rivet nut.

  • Apply sufficient and steady pressure to the handles.
  • Check if the material thickness is within the rivet nut's grip range.
• Mandrel stuck in rivet nut:
  • Ensure the knob is fully loosened to release the mandrel after setting.
  • Lubricate the mandrel threads if they appear dry or sticky.

7.2. Hollow Wall Anchor Tool BT910

• Molly bolt not expanding:
