Good replacement. Didn't feel any different than what I had with the My Astro 1442. People who complain of a broken mandrel are either careless in unscrewing after riveting or don't have their head in the correct position for the size they are working with. If you use a smaller screw such as For example, when using M5 or 10-24, your head should be set as low as possible so that the mandrel does not pull over the compressed portion of the rivet nut at the end of the setting stroke. . You can tell your setting is off when you need to apply a lot of pressure at the end of the compression. This mistake is easy to make and I made it myself so I had to find a replacement for myself. Once I figured out the correct head setup, the rivet installation process was effortless and the rivets didn't look like they had been pinched from the inside. Test it out and get a feel for the tool on unwanted material before using it in your application. Much luck.
