Pros & Cons
Pros
The tool seems to be very well made and sets 3/8 and 10mm effortless. It also comes in a handy case with several different size attachments. My only complaint is the lack of variety for the smaller sizes.
I work in a fab shop and we use nutserts on a lot of our projects. It is sturdy and does the job. Learn how to set and calibrate a tool.
Cons
The metal looks to be a cheap pop metal that is not solid (hollow) the top/* piece where it connects to the main shaft is by far the weakest link. The threads on the adjuster knob were stripped after the first use.
Highlights
Quality
I am very pleased with the tool.
They work well and helped with the job
Not happy with the build quality or the lack of being able to replace the mandrel.
Packaging/appearance
Worked perfect right out of the box.
Needs little extra lubrication when you get it out of the box.
Competitiveness
Easy to make mandrels for other sizes.
You usually can’t go wrong with smittybilt.
Update: 6/25/2019 - after waiting for nearly a month, they finally had new mandrels in stock.
Again google major weakness youtube jeep table to see this in action in the real world.
