    I have one of the above... aaand...

    I find that this style hand tool gives the best results as it more easily keeps the Nutsert square and flush to the material and has better feel
    Upside is it gets into deep recesses and generally seems to work better
    Downside is the clearance needed above the hole but you can use the nut, bolt, washer system if necessary

    Cuppas post is def the go for a workshop tho

    The M3-M12 above and good price($49), had ordered similar from syd tools ($79) but needed quick so picked up the 8" jobbie yesterday (post 51).

    Syd tools below has full aluminium alloy head assy w/o separate bridge as yours.

    Your larger tool as U linked above, does it set the 8-12mm (SS or low carbon steel nutsert/rivnuts) well?

    Does M8 Ally, SS and Steel Nutserts no worries... M10 I've only done Ally and Steel... M12 I haven't done but I'd guess a 14 inch handle would be better than 12 but you can get some serious leverage, much more than the single hand jobbies, so should do it OK

    FWIW i found that the small M3, M4 were the ones to watch and take the time to setup 'cause the tool has so much leverage... M5 and up you can feel the Rivnut take up so you can be a bit more rough as guts.

    Used the small jobbie and put 5mm low carb steel where safari snorkel use to fix against pillar A with dome hd SS to flash it up(yeah did feel set). The new 4" snork brkts to inside jam face (pillar A), used M6 steel but needed block of wood to rest one handle against and push on other but all sweet. Will buy a M3-M12 long handle jobbie for the shelf for next time. Thanks

    I bought a Kinchrome jobbies from total tools when i did my SS snorkle for the A pillar connections - absolute childs play. It does up to M10 I believe which I think is fine as its only anchoring in thin sheet metal. This thing sure opens up the possibilities and makes the task look better and simpler - no more nuts in behind hidden areas etc. I reckon it should be in everyones garage as an essential tool, especially when so many of us are customising the vehicle.
