here is something that might be of use to guy's building pace's with all the 10/24 holes you need to drill and tap buy yourself one of these. $20.00 bucks from ebay for a good quality one . you will save a heap of time . i put it in a 90 deg angle drill and gets into almost every where you need to drill.. drills and taps the thread all in one go .

and countersinks (or perhaps just de-burrs?) too, if you push it deeper

I find that tapping holes with a drill is so much easier. If you put the cordless drill on slow gear, and go really slow and keep reversing, it's easier to start square, then trying to hold a t bar and wobbling all over the place trying to get the tread started.

Another option to consider is the use of nutserts. They are like a pop rivet with an internal thread. Great for sheet metal and available in aluminium or steel. Smaller nutserts are installed with a tool similar to a hand riveter whilst larger nutserts can be installed with an air operated tool. Smaller ones can be installed with the use of a bolt and nut and two spanners. Use grease on the thread during installation to avoid damage. Google "nutsert".

the fed ex man just dropped this off at my house any clues to what it might be lol. i also bought this nutsert kit off ebay the other day over a 1000 pieces only $68 .00 FROM EBAY over a 1000 inserts from m3 to m8 in steel and alloy inserts used one the other day to test it out works pretty good
cheers dean |
how is the nutsert tool? My nutsert tool cost $80 with a few different sized inserts M3-M8 - the tool is German and very high quality, just wondering what the ebay special is like? No doubting the quantity of the nutserts they supplied was good value on it's own!

I'd love to buy a Wurth ratcheting nutcert tool.
The RRP price if $1200 and I had a sales fellow follow up my recent enquiry and was offering one for sale at $600 instead. Still too expensive though for my limited shed use. But this variant is very good quality and ranges from M4 - M12 as nut and bolt style inserts! Anyone got one for sale? - lol |

Local tool shop had a sale a few weeks ago, I bought one of these kits, cost me about $60 on special. I did however spend more than I intended with a shop full of specials. |
a man who is a tinkerer can never have enough tools i am very lucky i have a very understanding wife who never complains when i need to buy stuff for the cobra or the race car as long as the household bills are paid first ..

I bought the X-BULL Air Pop Rivnut Hydraulic Tool it works a treat with the amount of nutserts I thought that's the way to go and bought the DEKO Electric Rivet Nut Gun riveting tool cordless for the hard to reach areas all worked well and easy caution on the
Hydraulic one so much torque I squashed the nutsert till I adjusted it correctly http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/1420...pid=107&chn=ps http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/2724...pid=107&chn=ps https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SAT6...8.4.120.PIdGyB https://www.aliexpress.com/item/M4-M...8.4.145.PIdGyB https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Elec...5-a076ee59f4f3 |

thats one of the reason i bought the kit i did because there is over a 1000 inserts and the fact they thru in a tool with it was a bonus as i will buying a different one anyway |
