[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 513790, member: 7021"] Interesting....I was just thinking of purchasing a riv nut tool from HF. It was going to be used for lightweight items on travel trailer, boat, etc. mainly mounting lightweight items to thin gauge sheet metal. Not comfortable with the potential for slipping and causing removal issues. Perhaps sheet metal screws and/or rivets are the preferred alternative for attaching lightweight items in sheet metal. Removal of these is LOT simpler than removing a slipping riv nut. As far as touch up paint find a color that is close to existing color(s)....a rattle can with paint sprayed into a small container and applied with a small brush seems good. Rustoleum enamel would be my preference. [/QUOTE]
