ممتاز لكن احذر من الضغط القوي

Good useful tool

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.

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.

This is a great tool for the money. Honestly, I had no Idea this even existed. Drill a hole and press in the insert and then you can screw in a bolt? Ha! I have to have this! Long familiar with pop-rivets, I am using this to add off-road accessories, repair old equipment, and otherwise bolt down ornery objects. The tool itself seems decent quality and is up to the task. It took me a few minutes to get the hang of changing the mandrel. The instructions also make clear that you should use the little plastic boxes and keep the mandrels separate and organized so that sizes don't get mixed. Including six common sizes and a collection of inserts, this will get you started. This tool will get light use, but is easy to use and cheap enough to buy for the occasional job. If I were going to use this every day, I'd buy a better one and spend more. For around the home and farm use, it's good.

Una herramienta de excelente calidad. Fácil de utilizar y manipular. Cumplió mis expectativas. Me fué de gran utilidad en el trabajo que realicé con ella.
