Conway, I’m forever indebted to you for this. Can I buy a nutsert rivet tool locally, Home Depot, Lowe’s, or Ace? Seems like I’m gonna need one of my own. I inherited a couple of rivet tools from my Dad; maybe there’s one with his stuff, but I’d rather get a new one. Thanks!

Its possible you may find them there. Or at a local fastener shop. Here we have CD fasteners and Fasten ALL and Western Fatseners. but if I remember right I got mine at Harbor Freight Tools. (I Know not the best tools around sometimes hit or miss.. this time the product has been a hit) Plus there are 2 types of inserts. The type with a flange around the base on the outside. OR the type I use that has a taper/countersink fit to it. Low profile almost flush fitting. I get them at CD fasteners here locally in Ft Collins. you may wanna check around. Let me know if I can help somehow. even if its just pics or the such so you know what I mean..

Thanks, Conway. I have an allergy shot Tuesday, and that’ll take me right by a Harbor Freight Tools. I’ll see if I can find the tool and nutserts there. I’ll get the ones that have the taper/countersink.
Conway Stevens
Bruce if you cant find the inserts let me know and I will send you some.
Bruce R. Schaefer
Conway, couldn’t find ’em, or even the tool yet. I’ll PM you. This is just great. Hey, who said life lessons were easy, huh? 🙄
Conway Stevens
No problem Bruce we will get it figured out one way or another.

Okay, I’m a nut-sert convert. The tool is the easiest tool I’ve ever used, and the results are unbelievable. All 12 nut-serts lined up perfectly, and the retainer followed suit. Case closed. Thanks to Conway Stevens! 🙂 Anyone who uses an Aero Pack retainer on a G10 bulk plate, this is the way to go!

Bruce…
We’re going to have to talk about you and your Nutsert tool crossing paths with me and my retainer and rings… perhaps even my airframe and av-bay…

You got it, Warren. Conway can provide the right nut-serts. They are amazing.

Oh, man, wait until you see how they work on a hatch. Flush.
