OK seeing I am a nice guy I took some time out of my hektik schedule to have a look

the kit, gun, 4, 5 and 6mm noses and some inserts in a metal box $231.98 +gst

the gun alone $89.62
3, 4, 5 and 6mm noses are all $29.30 +gst each
there is an 8mm nose but its been discontinued and I just bought our last one I think 8mm is a bit above what you would use a nutsert for anways
all inserts are between 15 abd 20 cents each + GST
add postage onto that, 3kg express post bag would cover it easilly

Where is that through?

[royce]

my work, I'm on the northside but could probably sort it out to be collected from Wacol way as well, or I can jsut post em to you

[just_cruizin]

So a metric insert needs an imperial hole

[Pubic]

[slow]

anyway here is link for most of our tools, however we do have over 10000 part numbers so the tools are all through the whole catalogue in their sprecific sections, panel beating, mechanical etc. this link is just the straight out tool section

[lump_a_charcoal]

Allen wrenches, t bar style, in metric.

[banga]

dont try and use stainless bolts in those nutserts cause you be cursing and ready to break stuff we use them in or caravans with stainless bolts even with lube on them they bind up and are a bitch to get out cause the nutsert decides to spin on you. other than that they are not to bad

[Mugwui]

Excuse my ignorance, but I have never seen a nutsert, the tool or how they work, but after reading the thread it sounds like i have to have one....mmmmmm tooooollllllls but more so to get rid of all the plastic pop screws in my car. Anyway, can anyone post up some pics of the tool, mandrels, noses etc and maybe even in opperation as well.
The pics at the start of the thread dont explain it clear enough as I dont really know what I'm looking at. Cheers.

[slow]

found this

[Rusho]

Ok, will do

[julian]

nutserts are basically pop rivets without a pull stub on it rather the threaded mandrel is and when you squeeze it it forms a bulge at the back stoping it pulling through.

pretty handy but dont buy the stainless nutserts or use stainless bolts in them like everyone else said

[Mugwui]

Thanks for that, Yeah....I went over to Rusho's and had a look at one holing his snorkel on....bloody brillant! Cant believe I haven't seen this before, it's on the to buy list thats for sure.

[Damo]

For those that haven't seen one before I took some pics of mine.

Nutsert tool, it works very similar to a pop rivet tool


M6 and M4 mandrels


M6 mandrel


This is how it works. Screw the inner part of the mandrel into the tool



Now slide the collar over the inner part and screw it into the tool's housing




Take your nutsert and screw it onto the inner part



Now push the nutsert into the appropriate sized hole and squeeze the handles together

Ah nutsert! Always heard of then as riv-nuts! Pretty flash tool!!! Mines an old battery hook, a spacer, washer and another nut of the same thread as he batt hook/riv nut. Bush mechanics FNQ style

Yeah different name, same thing.

I have pulled a few nuserts without the tool. It's a lot quicker/easier WITH the tool!!!

[Mugwui]

Thanks DAMO, thats exactly what I was looking for.
I had a look at some on Rusho's Coily...Bloody awsome.

[just_cruizin]

And generally better success rate too, nothing worse then a loose nutsert
