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 .

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".

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!

it works ok but i have used better you need pretty strong hands to pull them up . thats what i thought i will buy the kit for what it is and then buy a better tool if need be i have seen one with really long levers for better leverage

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

It's pretty good to use, needs far less effort than the standard rivnut pliers

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.

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

I think I read that the exhaust tip had to be angle downward at 45 % or more?
