Yes, pop rivets: not enough leverage for RivNuts.Absolutely ! If you want to try it out , I have some downspout work back in Maryland .
We just call it a rivet gun , or pop rivet gun if you please .
Actually, no. This is used in a similar fashion, but instead of a pop rivet, it installs a threaded insert into the hole.....Absolutely ! If you want to try it out , I have some downspout work back in Maryland .

My pop rivet gun uses both 1/8” & 3/16” shaft rivets: the shaft is inserted into the nose of the gun and is gripped by jaws inside the head. I’ll post photos.Thanks gents. Didn’t think it was pop rivet gun as the opening is about 3/16” so I’d have to have Popeye arms to use it.
And there’s nothing to grip the rivet.
But I think it’s missing some parts.
So unless I have the inserts my tool is basically useless.
Those are great pictures @ChazzC very helpful!
Other than the potential left-hand threaded end (if @DavidR8's are like this); not impossible, but not necessarily easy unless you have/get a LH die (McMaster has a good selection, but all cost more than a new tool kit. Would be better off selling to someone who already has the tooling. (not as much fun, though).Unless I am mistaken, I think they would be easy to make.
Princess Auto has them.So unless I have the inserts my tool is basically useless.
