DO YOU NEED SPECIAL EQUIPMENT?

Self-clinching fasteners tend to merge with the material they are being used to fasten. For this reason, most people think that they need special equipment in order to put them in place. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Any type of press can be used to install such fasteners, and you don’t need to spend a large amount of money to set up the infrastructure for self-clinching fastener use. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the pressing machine has to provide a force that can be adjusted. Using a hammer to install the will not work since they deliver a force that is too swift.
