OOL OVERVIEW
The FLEX-5S tool is designed for installing Sherex threaded insert/rivet nuts. The tool utilizes a pull to
stroke installation method. The advantage with this method is that the pulling distance of the tool can
be set to a specified distance ensuring the rivet nut insert is pulled to the same position (distance)
with each actuation of the tool (contact Sherex for the conversion instructions for changing this tool to
a pull to pressure installation method).
The tool is designed to install rivet nuts from M3 to M10, # 6-32 to 3/8-24. The recommended
operating air pressure is between 5 - 7 bar (72.5 - 101.5 PSI).
