If you’ve never used these before or haven’t used them frequently make sure you test on scrap material of about the same thickness as your workpiece. Pick up some extra nutserts in the size you need and practice getting the right tension by making fine adjustments. Note it is not going to work in tight spaces and you need more room than you think to use this in confined space. But it works well

I had been placing nutserts with the DIY method, using a long nut, and a star washer, etc... Really inexpensive, and it DOES work well. Look it up if you only need to place a few.However, as I was getting into more projects, I found myself placing more and more nutserts/rivnuts and was wasting time with that method, since it is fairly slow. I also found that it was more than a little finicky trying to place small 5mm nutserts as the DIY tool is pretty tiny, and the threads (0.8 pitch) are quite fine, and getting good hardness bolts to do the job is a pain.I bought this tool because I recognize the Astro Pneumatic name from other places, and because they are at least based in North America. I own plenty of tools from overseas, to be fair, but I also know some people who bought some of the less expensive nutsert tools which ended up snapping/stripping mandrels right away. Since almost all of the nutserts I have used in the past have been either 5mm or 6mm, I figured this tool should cover me for most of what I'm doing, and I really wasn't missing out not having a 3mm or 4mm mandrel.Package arrived next day, and I put it to work immediately placing a few 5mm nutsert. Holy smokes, it is soooo much faster than the DIY method I have been using, and the results are great. Tool seems well made, and changing the mandrels is fast and easy, no tools needed. Carrying case is a nice touch, and each mandrel comes in it's own little case.I've only used it the one day in the garage, but did place a pile of nutserts, and even used it to snug up a few of the ones I had previously placed but wasn't terribly confident about.... I can't speak to the $60-80 kits that are available, but givent the build quality of this tool, what I have heard about their customer service, and the availability of different mandrel kits if you need + replacement parts for the mandrels that come with it, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

I bought an Astro 1442 rivnut tool off Amazon. After using it often for almost 2 years the knob at the bottom became very difficult to turn. I tried lubricating it and doing everything I could to get it to turn more easily with no luck.I contacted Astro and they said to send it to them for servicing. It turned out that the bottom connecting bars needed replacing.Not only did they fix it within a few days but they sent it back to me with no charge! This company really stands behind their products and I would buy from them again.

I just finished installing my fender flares on my GTI with that tool, so far so good, everything went well. A bit confusing to adjust to different type of rivnut at first but I figured it out.I bought the hardware separately from Downstar if anyone wants to know, cheers !

Muss sagen, es macht was es soll und ist sehr robust gefertigt. Habe einige Nieten damit verbaut und obwohl der Preis so günstig war, sehe ich keine Verschleisserscheinungen. Was mir aber bei einigen aufgefallen ist, ist die Tatsache das wenn die Nieten schon verpresst sind der Schraubkopf noch einmal runtergedreht wird und nochmal versucht wird die Niete nachzupressen was aber nicht mehr geht da die Klemmung der Niete am Anschlag ist. Das dann das Gewinde des Dorns irgendwann nachgibt ist klar.Oder wie der Handwerker sagen würde: Nach fest kommt ab.

I've only used it one time but it seems solid and is very easy to use. I've heard people complain about installing nutserts using various cheaper methods. I'm happy to not have to go through that.
