OOL OVERVIEW The FLEX-18 tool is designed for installing Sherex threaded insert/rivet nuts. The tool has the ability to utilize a pull to pressure or pull to stroke installation method depending on the application. The advantage with the pull to pressure method is that the same insert can be installed into different material thicknesses (within the part grip range) without any adjustments to the tool once the proper pulling pressure (force) has been set. -
