Don't know if they can be rented. But I have boxes full of them. What size bolt are you planning on using? I have 1/4 and 5/16.
If your only doing a few rivnuts you can make your own tool.
This isn't exactly how I made mine, but pretty much the same idea. Had the right size nuts and bolt laying around. Works like a champ.

1/4-20 should be sufficient. I will only have to take the panel off to change batteries. I've already installed an onboard charger. I assume rivnuts come in different lengths. These will go into 1/8 aluminum. Thanks for the link. Looks like it worked well in the pics.

Cool!!! Glad it worked.
Those are pretty simple to install with the right size bolt, nut(s) and a few washers. If there were a bunch to install a proper setting tool might be easier. But for just a few the DIY version works great.
