I had 110 Crush nuts to install, it would install three of them and I would have to change the quarter inch bolt in the gun because it would score the threads, too hard to get replacement parts for it, not worth the money unless they had a better supply of parts.

I used this recently on a car I'm building. It worked great on the sheet metal I was using. one thing I noticed is it needs lots of air. Your not going to be able to run this well on a single stage small compressor. With a dual stage compressor and 1/2in line it works great. Just what I needed!

Going to return it. I wanted this to install a skid plate on my UTV that required numerous holes to be drilled and tapped. Sadly I couldn't use it. Thankfully I did a few practice holes on scrap. This would not mushroom on the backside on a 1/8 flat steel, stuck in the hole but you can't rely on that. IMO It does not have anywhere near the power it needs for 1/8. Tried all different air settings as suggested. Not sure that I like the rocker switch, I think as a DIY not using it everyday it should last. Ended up drilling and tapping the holes. When I find a better riv nut gun for a reasonable price I'll install the riv nuts.It did work very good on 1/16 flat steel. Seems to be built well, not sure how hard the mandrels are, you may need to have extra good ones on hand depending how much you have to do.

This tool make life so much easier. For years, I've used the Astro tool where you squeeze the handles in. You have to set the nosepiece depth correctly and squeeze the handles exactly the same amount to ensure an even and complete squeeze of the nut collar. With this tool, you set your compressor at 90psi, thread the nut by hand until it's flush with the tool and that's it. Perfect every time. The trigger even reverses the tool out of the nut, so no more spinning a 3 pound tool around in tight quarters.Just 5 minutes after receiving the tool I put it to work and mounted 12 1/4" rivnuts in a sheet steel belt guard. Literally took me about 30 seconds per nut, including threading the nuts onto the tool by hand.I've only used the 1/4" mandrels so far and what I've noticed is that they strip rather easily. I don't know if this is by design so you buy extras or if the mandrels are just cheap. Thankfully, it comes with extra mandrels for all sizes.I had a hole that I forgot to wipe the oil off of after drilling the hole. When the rivnut tightened down, it spun in the hole b/c it couldn't grab metal b/c of the oil. The mandrel wouldn't back out just reversing the tool. So I grabbed the nut with some Visegrips and got the tool off, but saw that two threads on the mandrel were stripped. I find it odd that the tool steel would be softer than a normal rivnut. Maybe it's my fault, I'm not sure. It's likely you could fix the threads with a die, but as they are cheap and the tool came with five of each size, I just tossed it.I can say the tool itself is solid. Feels great in the hand. Mandrel changes are tool-less! Quick and easy. I'd buy this again, but just be aware that if you have big project coming up and only have one mandrel of the size you need left, you should probably buy spares in advance, just in case.
