Sturdy, easy to use and most of all, VERY GOOD INSTRUCTIONS
By CD on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
PROS: - This rivet nut setter comes in a nice plastic case with very detailed instructions, written in perfect English. - Includes a very good selection of rivet nuts and the adapters to install them - Works quite well - but I also reviewed several YouTube videos because I have never used this tool before, so a visual guide helped - If you do not have an impact driver, this is the next best tool because the do-it-yourself versions where you use nuts and bolts and spacers look good in the videos but don't work very well if you do many CONS: - could be a little bit stronger metal, built a little sturdier but for the price it is better than I expected - the instructions disagree on one point: they specify that the tool can be only be used up to a specific rivet nut size but in another section they offer to sell additional sizes of the installation parts to install rivet nuts larger than the size advised. Please see my attached video, where I show how I use this tool!

I have purchased this tool before...
By jmascioni on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024
The old one was completely worn out. Used it for 5 years and set thousands of rivet nuts with it. It was a good buy. This one here, the tool itself seems to be ok so far, but the mandrels that it comes with have turned out to be garbage. I even read the notice on the package about the 10-24 mandrel is easy to snap. I thought, ok, be gentle. I made it to the 3rd 10-24 rivet nut, and SNAP!!! AND I WASN'T EVEN GIVING IT ANY PRESSURE!!!! They were getting installed in 16ga sheet steel. So I switched to the 1/4-20 mandrel and made it through 5 before it snapped. I guess if they make a good tool, the give you junk mandrels to get your money one way or another.
