Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool 1442-10/32A Mandrel & Nose Piece by Mark Colbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Numerous alternative thread sizes make the Astro Threaded Nut Installer the most versatile choice!

I am VERY grateful that I did my homework when choosing a replacement for a crappy Harbor thread riveting tool and found that Astro Pneumatic Tools has the widest range of alternative thread sizes to complement the basic threads that come with it kit. with a tool. For example, here in the US, size 10-32 is VERY popular, particularly in the electrical and HVAC industries, but apparently not so in other industries and other parts of the world, so otherwise a VERY GOOD choice with a decent tool is delivered, but I needed a few other sizes. Be careful when choosing another tool because while some say you can get replacement or alternative mandrills, good luck trying to find and order one. I started Astro and didn't spend any money on one from Harbor. They are inconvenient to use, 10-32 or even replacement mandrels for the sizes that come with the tool are simply NOT available that I could find. If it's not so bad, replacement rivet nuts aren't available through Harbor unless you use up about 10 of each size that comes with your tool. the best choice I could make.
