Default Recommendations on rivnut kits

Looking at getting a kit to set rivinuts as got a few jobs on my shell that require them!

I only want a budget kit as it will only get minimal use but don't want rubbish.

Also have seen some that require a notch in them? But most don't.

Cheers

Cheap = Rubbish

I have this one: http://www.memfast.co.uk/shop/vclose...cat=2258004632

Uses socket cap bolts to pull inserts in, easily replaced if broken/damaged (spares included).

Do you just tighten them up with a spanner with that kit?

Cheers everyone.

On my one you drill the hole and the fit the riv nut in the tool and squeeze like a rivet then unscrew the tool and you are done.
