Hi, I'm looking for a recommendation for a nutsert tool. Most of my work will be in thin sheet, using aluminium M6 nutsert.

Would one of these be OK for occasional use? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NUTSERT-TOOL ... 4ac8973173

Thanks

Chris

You probably need a better more powerful drill for the nutsert tool to work properly?

I think a cordless impact drill/driver would be better suited to that
cool setup

Thanks for the feedback folks. Total Tools offered only a $200 version - very nice but at this stage I can't justify that for the immediate needs. I've ordered the cheap version and hopefully it will be OK for M6 aluminium nutserts in thin panel. Later on I'll move up to a better quality version (yes, always more expensive in the long run but I'm on a limited budget so needs must). Cheers!

I have a cheapy ebay kit, looks exactly like the first one you posted, Its probably done 50ish steel M6 nutserts, it is a bit worse off, hard to describe but at the top there is two shallow studs that pull the thread back, they have deformed quite a lot but still seems to work fine.

I have one of these and second time I tried to do an 8mm aly nutsert in body steel the screw pin snapped in half - when I told the ebay supplier they just sent a second one with no questions so maybe it is a common thing with them.
