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.

[Scrawny]

They certainly are a man's best friend

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

[Damo]

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.

[Scrawny]

There is M8...... and M10 too (I think)

[hquick]

Yeah...I have M4, M5, M6, M8

[lump_a_charcoal]

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.

[lump_a_charcoal]

Where from? Damn that is cheap!

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

[hquick]

This is where we get ours.....but there's probably cheaper around.

[hquick]

Hmmm....so...either you have visited their depot here in Melbourne (in which case you're right)....OR....you're being sarcastic and actually work for them?

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

[hquick]

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

[Scrawny]

Hahahahahahahaha

Royce should be home soon I'm sure he'll probably agree though

[royce]

have you make the 500km mark in your poor old red thing yet Lamo

cant get M8 mandrels for the little tools but maybe jsut maybe Westie will post up some pics of his and everyone will see how easy they are to make up

and if your paying 30 cents each your getting ripped, special price for auszookers on qtys of 50 or more

when did you come in Damo? and yes the little tard at the counter does like to send people elswhere, less work for him then

[Damo]

Yeah have done over 500 k's easy!!!

It was prolly 12 months ago that I came in. I'll have to hit you up when I need some more!!!

[Pubic]

if anyone is after one in the penrith area. head over to nepean boltmaster.

they have them for fark all and the gal nutserts are cheap as shit.

we have one very similar came with M:4,5,6,8.

we also have an air powered one too.... now that is in a whole different ball game!

[lump_a_charcoal]

I called them and they said $267 for the tool...

hehe cash sale tax

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

[lump_a_charcoal]

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

[royce]

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

[lump_a_charcoal]

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

[royce]

I'll have a look tomorrow

[just_cruizin]

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

[Damo]

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

[royce]

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

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

[hquick]

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.
