Good in tight quarters, works in a different way. Nice storage case.
This is a very different nutsert tool. If you have used a wishbone type of riveting tool, you'll have to learn a new way. This is a ratcheting tool, it works differently. Takes a bit of a learning curve, but easily learned. Test a rivet or two first on a blank piece of metal. Well built, heavy duty, tool itself is heavy. Nice thing is it can be used in tight places. Odd thing is the nose cone, has two opposing flats for a wrench to assist in removal, but no wrench included. All it needs a flat open end 20mm wrench, but they are not common. I did find a flat, short one online, but they should include one. Nice case, pinned hinges, has large area the for rivets. Would like to see the case with independent sections for the rivets instead of cellophane packs. There is storage in the lid for all the mandrels, very snug in their respective slots. Large, clear, size markings on the end of the mandrels.Instruction sheet could be written better, had to guess at a few things. The manual is 4 pages, with the last two being blank. They could include a chart on what drill size to use for each size of rivet included with the set, and thickness tolerances of the material being riveted to. The instructions indicate a scale on the tool, it took some very close looking to find a tiny scale, a decal that cannot not be seen while using, supposedly to help set the stroke of the tool. Really, you have to trust “feel” to get it set right. Yes, it can work with aluminum nutserts.Overall, good tool for the money, would recommend it to any mechanic & sheet metal worker.

Great Tool!
I like others bought this with reserves about the quality, but was very surprised about how well made it is. I used it on the fenders of my grandson's ATV. I installed 12 1/4"x20 rivnuts and they all turned out great. I did try a couple on a piece of scrap first to get the feel of it. After a slight learning curve it is very easy to use. I have 2 bad shoulders that need replacements, but I can work this tool ok. I did fine that the directions are misleading and wrong, just about releasing the tool from the rivnut. After pressing the rocker switch down , then turn the FRONT lever one turn COUNTER clockwise to loosen the threaded mandrel. The only downside that I see is the gauge is a bit hard to read, but after a few uses you get the feel of how much pressure is needed. The case is even well made and holds extra rivnuts. This is one of the best purchases that I have gotten from Amazon.

Get this tool!
In my opinion, This works better than the wishbone type rivnut tool, it gets into tighter areas and is a more compact ratchet type tool. Not big and bulky. It is a bit of a learning curve to set up the first time but well worth it. Great value for this as it comes with all the collets and tons of rivnuts inserts both sae and mm sizes all the way up to m12 for bumpers etc. you can always get extra inserts and use stainless steel inserts purchased separately. What makes this great is that Everything comes in a nice compact size box that fits in your tool box as opposed to those other huge wishbone units most have to hang on a wall or takes up too much room in your tool box drawer. It is well built and not one of those elcheapo kind of tools.

It’s OK, but not my go to when I need to set a rivet nut.
This is more about the style of tool, than the manufacturing. The ratchet type is a little cumbersome but it has its purpose - when you need to get into a tight spot. However, it is tedious, and takes a while to set up and pop in position. I prefer the squeeze types.As for the quality - it is good, not the highest, but pretty solid. should last for a long time.

Easy to use once you've figured it out!
Super Easy to Use! It took me a little while to learn how to ratchet the tool properly. I scrapped 2 rivnuts practicing. But once you know it you know it, and it works like MAGIC! Installed 16 stainless 1/4 20 rivnuts for a rv vent day I received tool. A couple things to know. I used a 23/64 drillbit for holes. Rivnut needs to slip through hole but does not need to fit tightly. The tool's mandrel will draw the rivnut tight to the stock. I just ratcheted the handle closest to workpiece counterclockwise like I observed in a you tube video. You need to tighten everything up against the workpiece before you start ratcheting.

Best way to install rivet nuts by far
Tool works well right out of the box. I’ve used it for multiple tasks - attaching electric radiator fans to a shroud, attaching fuse panel to body, etc. It’s very easy to use the tool, and it works great in small spaces. Well worth the money and glad I have it for future projects.

Great tool. Perfect for tight spaces. Easy to use
What a great tool. I bought the other style before this, its a Y shape tool. That was way more difficult and hard to fit into tight spaces. But this style was a perfect. Made my install so easy and professional. Very fast shipping time.

Disappointment and frustration
Needless frustration caused by unit persistently jamming, unit poorly designed with an abundance of cheap plastic parts, a ridiculously incomplete set of instructions, and no customer service help following the sale. Despite reading and rereading the few instructions provided, and watching the few YouTube videos posted for this item, could not get the unit to function properly. Given the item’s price and claims that it allegedly provides an easier alternative to other available products, it was a huge disappointment. Returning for refund.
