Metric Rivet Nuts: My M6 Interior-Preparation Work
The M6 insert work was part of preparing my Transit interior before the framing and panels. My JROUTH purchase is an insert assortment, while the two alternatives bundle a setting tool with inserts.
I wanted the likely interior attachment points ready before installing the aluminum framing, floor and wall panels. The remaining M6 rivet nuts were completed during that preparation stage.
The distinction matters when building a shopping list. An insert assortment supplies the threaded pieces; a starter kit adds the setting tool and mandrels. My later roof work involved slot nuts inside extrusion, which needed a different insertion sequence and should stay a separate hardware choice.

Keeping Sheet-Metal Inserts Separate from the Roof Slot Nuts
I completed the remaining M6 rivet nuts in the cargo area.
I planned those attachment points before installing the framing, flooring and paneling.
I later joined the roof extrusion with slot nuts, which needed their own insertion and alignment steps.
My Takeaway for Choosing the Kit
For a kit that already has the setting tool and the needed mandrel, an insert assortment is a different buying decision from starting again with a bundled tool kit. The WETOLS alternatives here help make that package difference visible. My recorded interior work explains the M6 requirement; the JROUTH box groups several metric sizes.

Connection
Internal threaded insert
A rivet nut leaves a threaded attachment point in the prepared panel, while the setting tool is a separate part of the job. My interior-preparation record identifies M6 work before the framing and coverings went in. Keep each insert size with its matching tool mandrel and the intended bolt. For a removable van panel, record the insert location before the covering hides it so the later bolt holes can be located from the original layout.
Are The Inserts And Setting Tool The Same Purchase?
No. This JROUTH selection is an insert assortment; the compared tool kits combine a setting tool with inserts.

Two Alternatives to Compare
Both WETOLS alternatives bundle a setting tool with an insert assortment. They are starter-kit alternatives to buying a larger insert-only assortment for a tool already in the kit.
