I think plusnuts (aka cross nuts) are a superior product and would highly recommend using these in critical situations (especially when pull out is a concern) instead of using ‘classic’ rivnuts. However, hand held rivnut tools don't seem to work with Plus Nuts right out of the box. The mandrel is too short to engage the longer barrel of the plus nut. But with this simple modification, using a 3/8" washer, the rivnut tool can be used to quickly and easily install plusnuts as well.

RivNut tool I use: It appears the exact tool I have (made by TackLife) is no longer available. But these tools appear to be the same / similar construction and should work with the washer hack I show...
