I was skeptical about this tool until it arrived, feels real solid when using it, tried it on 10-32 size steel riv nuts many times and never give up. Didn't try the 1/4-20 yet, but will find out soon.

I used this for 10-24 and 1/4 x 20 aluminum rivnuts with no problems. That's what this tool is designed to do. If I wanted to install carbon steel or stainless steel, I'd go with a more robust system. I wish the gun had a little bit more reach when tightening rivets and removing the tool after the nut was expanded was awkward. However, it worked as described and definitely got the job done. I had to punch out one nut out of twenty or so. Otherwise it worked fine and I'll definitely use it again.If you're looking for a better way to mount plates and brackets on sheet metal than sheet metal screws, this is the way to go. Very pleased with the results.

Works well, does the job!Put two 8-32 anchors in a storm door frame, to replace two panel clamps that had sheared off with use. Works well, albeit a bit awkwardly. Changing mandrels ia a bit more difficult than on a pop rivet tool!Strongly recommend using aluminum riv nuts, although I did do a couple of steel ones for practice, and to test the tool.

An old technology that has stood the test of time; a simple idea that works well. I used it for repairing some electrical panels that had originally used self-tapping screws. This allows for the use of proper bolts and repairs the stripped-out sheet metal threads making a professional repair. The tool construction is fairly basic and probably would not win any awards but it works well and the price is right. A great handyman repair tool. With a little care you could put threaded inserts in wood. Various size inserts (Rivnuts) are available.

I note most of the negative reviews folks were using steel nutzerks.... DON'T. You might get away with the small ones, but this tool is NOT heavy duty. I've been using one like it for 10 years or so with no problems.. with ALUMINUM nutzurks. I know they do make a steel nutzurk that, instead of expanding, the center piece pulls into the body, but dont know where to buy them (used them years ago.... didn't take much force to seat them

Really solid rivet setter. Bought one used and it came in excellent shape and with all the correct parts. I was going to return, but turns out it came in handy because my original one broke. Did the job easily.

Once I set the tool up it worked fine. Just used the 10-24 set and it worked perfect after trying a couple rivnuts to find the optimum pressure to set it in place or the threads will be damaged. Worked great.

This works great. The depth stop dial (threaded post closest to the handle) allows you to avoid over squeezing and damaging your threads until you get the hang of it. I really like the 10-32 mandrel, which we use a lot in aviation, some cheaper locally available models don't have the 10-32 mandrel. (They have the 10-24) I bought two tools so I don't have to swap out mandrels, and they are inter-changeable but this one works great. I use aluminum exclusively and am not sure how it sets steel rivnuts. I find it so nice to have the entire number, letter and dimensional drill bit set, so I can have an exact tight fit. Doesn't come with rivets, but airplanes need specific rivets for the application, so no problems.

I needed this tool for working purpos and saw it at other store at a much higher price. Good quality at a good price.

I purchased this tool for use with 8-32 steel Rivnut inserts. I found that the threaded 8-32 tip was very loose when threaded into the insert.Basically, the thread on the tool tip was severely undersized and only minimally engaged the thread in the insert. When the tool was operated to cinch the insert, the threaded tip stripped out of the insert before the insert had deformed enough to lock into the sheet metal that was receiving the insert.In fact, when unscrewing the tool, I found a thin "curl" of metal around the threaded tip...it was the thread metal shaved off of the inside of the insert!!As I find more and more in these days of cheap tools, I had to "remanufacture" the product. I am fortunate to have a lathe and a full compliment of metal working tools. I had to cut off the 8-32 tip and drill, tap and thread in a length of 8-32 threaded rod that had the correct thread diameter. A lot of work.The result was a useable tool...now the thread on the tip fully engages the insert and it does not strip out before the cinching takes place.To further add insult to injury, I found that the knurled "nosepiece" corresponding to the 8-32 tip was threaded at an angle relative to the axis of the tip so that it would not seat properly in the tool. So I had to rework that too!I now have a functioning 8-32 insert tool after a couple of hours of machining. I have not tried the other thread sizes but I expect similar problems.It is a shame since the basic "metal" is present in the tool...it is just so poorly manufactured that it does not function.I may have received a lemon, but I believe what I found can account for another review that I read that indicated that the tool worked for awhile then failed.This is case where I would seriously recommend spending more money and buying another brand or finding a manual, simple wrench driven tool.
