Simulated Nut Punch

[narrowminded]

Has anyone used this tool?  If so, could we get a description of its use and how well it works?  Materials it's made from.  It seems that the smallest nut size is .5mm (.020").  It also looks like it's dependent on the characteristics of the thin lead sheet that they furnish with it.  I'm a bit interested but that's a little steep to try on a whim.   Thanks.

Meh, clickbait topic..... I thought this was some kind of party drink....

I have the RPToolz rivet maker which looks very similar.  I suppose if you needed a large quantity of simulated nuts or bolt heads, that would be one approach.

Not the thread I thought it would be from the title.

I was also thinking more in line of what Dave V posted, but with all the people getting easily offended on TRW, I held back.

Unfortunately, their material does not look thick enough for a real nut in those sizes, IMHO.

You going soft on us in your 20,000s?

Likewise, but I backed off as well.

Maybe tho we need a thread about how to avoid clickbait thread titles.

So to speak...

So I'll take these replies as a "No, I've not used the tool made to force pieces through a similarly shaped, close fitting hex shaped die, producing hex shaped pieces mimicking commonly used components in a fastening device utilizing the principles of an inclined plane radially displaced around a center with this feature arranged in two close fitting, interlocking components, matched in their incline angles, the hex shape affording a method to grip one of the matched pair to advance along the incline, which upon meeting an obstruction applies a force to that obstruction commensurate with the force applied through the corners of the hex shaped component."   This tool would afford a method of mimicking the hex shaped component in miniature for modelling purposes, simulating that device without having any of the internal features that would make it functional.

Now, if somebody can fit that in a title block...   Meanwhile, I think I'll be making a few punches and dies.

LOL!

Yes, I guess I'm going soft and nutty during this crisis.  I might revert to my regular self later, but I also wouldn't want Dave V  and DKS leaving TRW  (again), due to something uncivil or offensive I wrote.

Sounds like a patent application...

I'll punch my own nuts at that price.
