I just got my Xenon flares in last night and trying to do the Rivserts. I drilled the hole out to the size specified in the instructions, 25/64". I tapped the rivserts in with a hammer, but my rivserts don't stay in, they can be pulled out by hand with a tiny bit of force, is it supposed to be that easy? Is the rivsert "tool" supposed to do something to the rivsert when it turns?

 

Not sure if rivserts are the same as nutserts. I've used nutserts before to put in some cargo tie down d-rings. They came with a tiny nutsert wrench to hold the exposed surface in place while I screwed the bolt in all the way, which caused the unexposed portion of the nutsert (the part you buried under the surface) to mushroom out and anchor itself... almost like a drywall anchor.

 

Ahh... so it expands after it's tapped in and the rivsert tool is used, I was thinking that it was supposed to be a tight fit when it was tapped in. Thanks.
