Do any of you other guys use a nutsert tool?
I find it invaluable.
This morning I removed the windscreen sill guard. It was impossible to get the black plastic plugs out so I had to drill them out.
I replaced them with nutserts and used stainless cap screws to fix the guard back in place.

They certainly are a man's best friend 8)

I used captive nuts to hold my snorkel onto the windscreen frame

Looks like the exact same one I have.

What size mandrels have you got? I've got M4 and M6, and I was wondering if there is an M8.

Prices? Couple of hundred or so?
Are the nutserts expensive too?

I think I paid about $30 for the tool. The nutserts aren't realy cheap, from memory they M6 ones work out to around 30 cents each.

That was a few years ago now, it was at Boltmasters in Townsville.

Err, yes it was sarcasm :) but it's not me that works there :wink: BUT now that you mention it, when I went there to buy some they sent me around the corner to another bolt shop :lol:

Lol! I was afraid to ask.
The guys down here aren't too bad...they're just not great with the service.

we sell it in a kit with inserts and nose pieces or by itself then you buy the noses you want

I can do a better price if you can pay by credit card

A gun with 6, 8 and 10mm mandrels, what is your best price, incl postage?

Author:  royce [ Tue Sep 30, 2008 12:23 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Nutsert tool - must have!!!

ahh if your getting the one with 10mm its the bigger gun, buy that one you wont save much

Author:  lump_a_charcoal [ Tue Sep 30, 2008 12:27 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Nutsert tool - must have!!!

How much anyway? 8mm might be enough for most things...

Author:  royce [ Tue Sep 30, 2008 12:30 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Nutsert tool - must have!!!

I'll have a look tomorrow

Author:  just_cruizin [ Tue Sep 30, 2008 2:48 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Nutsert tool - must have!!!

I'll be interested in one as well, M8 should do for a maximum size if the price difference is huge

If you want one just to put in a couple of nutserts give me a shout.

Disregard if you are using it as an excuse to buy more tools :P

Post subject:  Re: Nutsert tool - must have!!!

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 :wink: 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

I was going to use it as an excuse to buy more tools but $250 is too much for me to justify ATM.

Might contact you when I'm in the need Damo

Post subject:  Re: Nutsert tool - must have!!!

Trust me...once you have one....it's like that old Brother label machine ad.
You'll use it on EVERYTHING!
Anywhere you find those PITA plastic inserts or plug/screw setups...a nutsert works so much better.
