Rivnut gun doo dah.

[flossie]

Got an air rivnut gun and the M6 mandrel? Has broke. Its m6 thread both ends but LH on the end that screws into the gun.
It's basically around 40mm long in total, thread either end and a hex half way down its length to tighten it into the gun.
It's a good tool and does up to m8 with steel rivnuts.
All the other mandrels? are good just this m6 one that's broke maybe it's because I use that the most lol!
Any ideas where to find another? I think they are pretty generic?

It doesn't sound like a generic one, most of those are round with a couple of flats machined in the middle and then they go through a round hole in the hex shape nose piece.
Which gun is it?

I'm away from home at the mo and the gun is there too. I knew I would be asked the make but I couldn't remember it when I posted lol!
Back tomorrow so I'll post a pic, ta.

They are 50mm long, busted m6 still in the rivnut. All of them have m6 LH thread gun end.
