Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool 1450 13-Inch Plusnut and Extra-Long Rivet Nut Setter Kit - Metric and SAE by Cameron Novak

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The tool is well made and works well but very difficult to use in tight spaces

It appears to be a well made tool and it works well but ultimately despite its price its design isn't all it's designed for jobs in the narrowest space. It needs a very large space around the hole where you want to install the cross nut to work properly. Not only do you need to position the tool in front of the hole you're working on, you also need to have enough room to twist the handles in and out. This can be very limiting if you're working somewhere, e.g. B. under a car where many things can get in the way. It would be nice if there was a way to set the tool to work at an angle of 90 degrees or so. Install the nut. DO NOT attempt to install the cross nut. I learned this the hard way. There was a frame element that was preventing me from getting this tool to line up exactly with the hole I was working on, so I tried using it at a slight angle so I had enough play and the cross nut wasn't set properly. so he turned in the hole. Overall it looks like a quality tool and seems to work well, but it doesn't look like it was designed to work in the real world, which is what I expected for the price.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Appearance
