How often are you planning on using it?
If it's just a few, there are lots of how-to videos inserting them w/o special tools.

S4Cruiser,
I have that one and it works good in open spaces, but if confined you can't work the long handles. You'll need the kind that you work with a couple wrenches. Like this one at the bottom of page....McMaster-Carr

Thanks for pitching in.
As you know one tool doesn’t do it all! If I get one that works in tight places it’s sure to work in open spaces.
When I look at the long handled tools I wonder if that limits it’s use?
Anyways I have 40 things to “nutzert “ then I won’t need the tool for 3 years.

Can this one handle a 10mm Nutzert??
I have a cheapy that resembles this one. Bought it locally for about $30. Had a warranty... it worked well. They’re not rocket science.
This is all I used installing mine in my pickup bed, and other stuff. If I had a bunch to do in a hurry, I guess a tool might be OK, but this works fast and cost me nothing. Used my Dewalt to tighten instead of wrench after I got the hang of it.
Whoa! Big graphic!

No...per the Amazon Q&A section. M8 is the largest.
That one with the ribs on it might be good. I quit using nutserts years ago because, if the bolt is tightened down, the next time you try to remove it, the whole nutsert may end up just spinning and then they are a real pain to deal with. If possible, I always just mig or tig a real nut like it should have been done at the factory.
I have the same rivet nut astro tool, from amazon prime. Really like it. Myself I have never had one spin out on while removing a bolt. I use stainless steel bolts on virtually everything (except where Grade 8 is the only thing you should use) along with a good coating of anti seize for all fasteners. I don't use it a lot, but there are times it is the answer.
I bought one on Amazon that looks like the MArson. I have used it a lot with both Al and steel rivnuts. If I was doing a lot steel rivnuts in open spaces, I would get the large one as my tool struggles with large steel rivnuts. It hasnt broken, but it feels like it might. Heck, buy both tools! I have used them for all kinds of projects.
yes it does

Do you have a link for where this is specified / can purchase a m10 mandrel for the Astro 1442?
Get this one instead, you can go all the way up to M12. Then call them to order the SAE kit (it's cheap and if you are like me you will eventually use it). This is not built super tough, however, it gets the job done. The company stands behind their product, and the company's customer service is top notch. I have 100+ aluminum rivet nuts though mine.
