You may be able to adapt this to metric.

But in my experience you need the real tool to get enough leverage to do the 
job.
Howdy,

So I've just discovered rivet nuts.

on=nutinserts;158=7155

What do home folks use for installing these?  I'd like to use metric 
sizes, but all the metric mandrel install tools are $150 or so...  Can I 
just thread something into them and use that to crush them down?
