Pros & Cons
Pros
If you have to set more than a handful of rivnuts in a single year this thing is a life saver. No real instructions but luckily not too hard to figure out. Make sure to read the instructions.

With the tool locked into place it totally rocks and makes installing rivnuts a cinch. My one complaint is i wish that bottoming out the drive on this wouldn't continue to free spin.

Competitiveness
The tool worked good using a ryobi 18v cordless drill
Works like a champ easy to use and fast
Its the typical yellow chinesium fare that is marginal when new and gets waxy over time
I wanted to see how it would it work with a ryobi 18v cordless impact driver

Works 100 but once you add this to a drill the whole assembly becomes very heavy
