Whether you're working on automotive panels, HVAC ductwork, or custom enclosures, misidentifying a rivet nut size costs time and can strip threads in material you can't easily replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 600-piece colored zinc rivet nut assortment solves that problem with a color-coded system that lets you identify sizes at a glance. The set covers both metric (generally M3–M10) and imperial (generally #8-32 through 3\/8-16) thread sizes, giving you the range to handle mixed-standard projects without switching kits. Each rivet nut is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and manufactured to standard thread tolerances for reliable bolt engagement. Sizes are available across multiple thread designations — see variant options for the exact count per size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Please Note: This kit includes rivet nuts only.
