Review on HARDELL Metric Mandrels 100Pcs Carrying by Dhoal Black

The tool looked great, came with all sizes of rivet nuts, dies looked solid and were steel. Unfortunately, the key part of the tool — the orange piece that holds everything together and bears the load — is made of aluminum. It should be steel forging. I installed 6 nuts and on the 6th the threads had come loose from the tip rendering the tool unusable. I have set the instrument correctly. I know how to use them. The collar was properly tightened, the neck was properly adjusted. (By the way: the instructions weren't very good). I haven't overloaded the handles - I've been pushing for 70 years so I don't have the strength to abuse the tool. I did not use "cheaters" on the handles. nope He just grabbed the handles with my arthritic hands and ripped his nose out. Upon inspection, I saw all the aluminum shavings on the mating hardened steel threads and thought "this part must be steel". So I sent the device back for a refund. I didn't expect the replacement to be better. I think I'll have to spend a little more money for one of these.
