DIY: Rivnut puller for install of trunk Cargo Net

I had a cargo net in my last car and severely missed it in my Si. So I bought my cargo net almost 2 years ago but never installed it due to a pesky little tool called a Rivnut tool that the kit doesn't include. Rivnuts turn an ordinary hole into a threaded hole in which you can screw the cargo...

What did you do to your van today?

Well after a bloomin' long drive from Glossop to the border region in the tin tent, I finally met up with the legend that is Wildbus. Well 4 hours of fiddling and piddlin' it seems that an answer to the 'oppy fridge problem may be on the horizon. Not haven't eaten or had a drink for half a day...

I have several different clinch nut tools but did not have the M10 fine thread insert for the stainless clinch nuts, the above post may help.
 
Jeff, this thread has been running for over three years. Have you put the friggin rivnut in yet! Lol

that's how come i was so fast - by the time i started the job , i'd already built it 2 or 3 times in my head , and i had solutions to most if not all the problems . great thing about beig self taught , you've made all the mistakes ,and sorted them , without any help . on the odd occasion i worked with time-served men , i was surprised how slowly they worked, and if they made a mistake ,how quickly they gave up .
once i worked with some german guys on a bar fit in albufeira . the boss had measured it wrong by over a metre ! when he started saying we'd make another one - 5 metres of beautiful larch , 'S' shaped and finely finished . 3 days hard graft for a few of us !
i was on half the profit for this job, so i told the bar owner that we'd messed up , but i would cut a section out the middle and make him a matching wash-up station . sorted

Not sure on price I need to get it out of the garage and see the condition of it as it's not been used for a couple of years.
