Typical of Sliverline tools - this isn't a professiona...l tool. The 4 sizes of inserts are poorly plated and threads a little rough also made from softer material than would be a top end tool However you get what you pay for - a working tool ideal for a few rivets - much easier than inserting these "manually". Just be careful to pack it away with all the bits - there is no on-board storage and you need to keep it all together in order to use it again in the future

As far as cheap rivnut tools go, you get what you p...ay for. I wasn't that surprised to find that out of the box this tool wouldn't work. The handle part of the tool which has the tool nose on it wasn't properly formed. As a result it was impossible to fit the insert bits in to the nose. Additionally the inserts themselves were poorly machined with burrs causing them to hang up in their respective sleeves. I took the tool apart and adjusted it so that the angles were correct and I filed off the burrs on the insert bits so they would move through their sleeves smoothly. Once reassembled the tool worked as intended. You shouldn't really need to make these adjustments to a brand new item, but it is very cheap so I wasn't particularly phased by it. However this would be no use to someone who doesn't have many tools or isn't mechanically minded.

Plastercine would have been harder than the ...wearing parts of this tool. On the first use with 5mm threaded rivets it mashed up the 'hardened' parts and the handle splayed so that it would not pull the rivet. Goodness knows what it would been like with 8mm rivets. I had replace the circliped pivot with a bolt to get it work at all, but it is almost unuseable after only putting 2 x 5mm insertd

Excellent tool, for the job I needed it for, but I can als...o see other uses that will make my life a lot easier. Wish I'd got one years ago. I've only used the tool with 5mm, aluminium rivnuts, but the quality seems to be OK, & I'm sure it'll last for years. Great price too!
