Unforgivable - Tools and Equipment

April 2019 Update: I was contacted by a seller whose catalog has been expanding since my original purchase and without asking they sent me a replacement shaft and got back to me with replacements they have for sale. Steady hands are still required but I am much happier with the product knowing that if something goes wrong I can get replacement parts at a reasonable price! :) Pros: Works great if your arms are VERY stable and strong enough. Cons: Requires significant arm strength and doesn't bend the mandrels as NOBODY seems to be selling replacements. After installing about 10 8-32 rivet nuts, the knot slipped off and I bent the mandrel. I carefully went through the rest of the project and spent the next month trying to find a replacement and I'm still looking.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • I will be silent
