Doug,

I have one of those Riv-nut tools. Actually this one is made by Marson. But typically they are only for setting an aluminum nut, great for door mirrors and the likes. The tool works the same as a pop rivet tool. The mandrel is threaded and that handle is sqeezed to colapse the collar of the nut around the panel it is to be attached to. I really don't think this is something you want to be hanging suspension from.
