[Julian Kift]

I have a Marson RN-1 for general use (mostly aluminum rivnuts) and for larger/steel applications I have size specific Sherex Hand Tools.

I bought it at Grainger Supply, cost a little over $100.  its nice, nut i saw a twin knock off at Harbor Freight for 29 bucks.   so, i don't know if they are equal, i doubt it, but 300% better?  you can see mine in action on my website on the trunk latch adventure.
