We use this one at work (kenworth dealer). It cops a fair amount of abuse and has held up fine for over 6 years, it is a bit pricey for a one off job, but if you want one that will last I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the tip, but I"m looking for products available in the USA market. I worked for Peterbilt a few years ago in Madison, TN USA the same parent company PACCAR owns Kenworth and Peterbilt.
Looking for a kit with the inserts and appropriate tools to do stuff around 8MM up to say 15MM or similar size in SAE.

thanks... I'll look at McMaster Carr but I really want one of the kit....
does one tool fit different sizes of the inserts or cover a range of sizes?
I just got the tool, one set of dies and one size nut.
The kit in the pic has various size dies and nuts.
Just one tool, you change the dies.

Sorry, the 1st one with the ratchet style zert tool.
The link is UK but but was bought from Wurth Australia. I assume that wurth products are available in the US

I use the McMaster-Carr stuff...
I use the Wrench-Drive Rivet Nut Installation Tools for mine, one for M8 and one for M6. I'd buy a plier style tool if I were doing a lot of them, but the wrench-drive works fine for low volume stuff (like a home shop).

I was thinking of making the bed of my 60 usefull for changing out floor mounted hold downs and so on. Having a steel or aluminum plate mounted to the bed of the truck, then nutserts installed into the plate would allow a wide range of installation applications for holding things down and so on. What kind of pull force can these nutserts before pulling out of sheet metal?
I didn't see any tear out force numbers but they are pretty stout. You want to drill a hole out to a very close tolerance to nut, they give you a drill size.
Was planning on asking about this when I get back stateside and start in on the truck again. Glad to have come across it. That metric kit from McMaster is just what I'm looking for.

I did something like this when I was installing a few M4 and up nutserts in out 4Runner: $1.87 Rivet nut tool for step/running boards. - Honda Ridgeline Owners Club Forums
What can I say, the price was right and I only had a few to do.

also countersunk nutserts
M8 x 28.0 | Closed End | Countersunk | Nutsert | Zinc Plated
In-case something heavy is pushed across the panel that has nutserts installed.
