WORKED 4 ME... glad I got it.

WORKED 4 ME... glad I got it.
THere are other and cheaper Brands. I was shooting for a middle-of-road approach/Brand for a one-off, one-time project that I made more complicated than it needed to be. My dad actually needed his truck step bars REPLACED but I couldnt justify the cost. SO I took on a makeshift repair project, 'patch-job' if you will. Anyone buying a tool as this is generally familiar with tool or pseudo-handy I'd say. BUt like most stuff today with trnasplated so-called 'Instructions' , the manual is useless. Watch some online videos to hear about the various 'qwirks' and such, or how to adjust. I CAN see how some folks could easily break this from improper adjustment, unrealistic expectation or outright abuse tryun to 'gorilla ' the thing. Watch'n a few videos AHEAD of time will help the learning curve and which ALSO warned me ahead of time how easy it is, and how the levers might not close 'evenly' btwn two sides..possibly canting the nutsert if not careful. I did a few simple M8 nutserts and opted to spring for an upgraded STAINLESS nutsert verses just using the kit-supplied pieces as I was going into stainless plate anyways & have to contend with corrosion issue potential. Not sure it helps much or at all [if you dont do the nutsert right , proper and get tighten just right] but I DID take one reviewers advice to put a few drops of Loctite RED on them for good measure. REGRET: I WISH i got this tool 2 years ago when it was 30bux CHEAPER! I planned on a ONE TIME USE and sell...but you will suddenly find lot more potential jobs for it...such as pulling out an airbox on a car with 400K miles and drilled bolt hole in frame member is rusted rotted out and suddenly can benefit form an insert? Just sayin. As I opted to NOT use the supplied fasters [ based on a few other folks reviews actually] I cant vouch for THEM...But the TOOL works- just be careful when using, adjust properly and you WONT BREAK OFF TIPS. I decided to waste a insert for a PRACTICE RUN on scrap metal to get a "FEEL" both tools and stainless insert before giving an all-out banzai blind run charge onto my work piece. MY choice and thot. Just sayin. I also opted and perhaps wasted more money for a 11m drill vs just using a stnd, simple 7/16th bit to make the nutsert holes.
