Riv-nut installer works great in a factory setting in my experience. Can’t even imagine using it in an automotive shop. Very limited access. On the other hand, for $70 and it comes with all those packs of hardware, one could probably at least make his $70 back by using it here and there. But then there’s the issue of it taking up space in the tool box. If you had your own shop with a tool storage it would be shelf-worthy for occasional use. My two cents.

I can only comment on my circumstances. As a workshop manager of Australian mine engineering workshop, we work under extreme circumstances, both surface and underground. Our purchasing policy for suppliers is extensive, very complexed and detailed. In simplifying, all providers must supply 'proof of statement'. This involves submitting proposed supply equipment to our R&D division for extensive testing to failure. From here, the manufactor must prove the equipment failed within their submitted statement tolerances. Failure leads to loss of supply, future loss of availability of tender and possible supply suspension for 3 years. Pass and the supply contract is yours, allowing us access to the very best equipment available. Extreme ? Yes. Regarding air vs. battery. We cannot, and do not use battery powered equipment simply because extensive testing has revealed servere manufacturing defects and cannot be successfully certified intrinsically safe. Great vid, new sub. Greetings from Woomera, South Australia 👍👍🇦🇺

The complexity of the electric tool adds risk to failure without a doubt. But if your life and a $1billion process is not dependent on the tool working, then electrics are the way to go. I love air tools; their simplicity, power, and longevity. I have a full collection of air, but I still grab the electric ones to do the job. If i had to jump out a plane and my life was dependent on a tool working to fix the parachute, I'd grab the air (and check the tank first!).

That question comes from our logarithmic intuition on numbers when comparing big numbers to small ones. But prices and buying expensive things doesn't work like that. Just because I buy a house that costs $100,000, that doesn't mean I shouldn't consider buying something useless for $50, because then that's $50 spent on nothing, which is still money spent and going out of my wallet. Most people who can buy a toolbox for that much usually are able to do so because they don't waste small amounts of money on useless things and don't think "well this costs $1,000 so $3 is nothing compared to it". We even have a common phrase in Hungary that goes "who can't appreciate the small, don't deserve the big". You need to think in absolutes, and not relatives, avoid comparing different orders of magnitude. When I buy an expensive Stahlwille socket set for example, I won't buy the one that only costs $10 more if it only contains additional sockets I won't use. This is why many people get broke while still falling to the marketing strategy of "spending just a little more". It should never be an impulse but careful consideration, especially when buying expensive stuff. If the toolbox served him well, there's nothing to regret.

The size doesn't effect me much, as I've got everything torn down pretty far for paint, spot welder access, etc. FYI to anyone this may help, there's Marson versions of this tool in the configuration of a regular old small hand riveter. Would be much more handy working in tight spaces. But i use lots of rivet nuts, great for all kinds of little weird project stuff too. Police pushbar strobe mounting, adding lighting to a tow truck, many many uses.

I learned that the PT850 is an air hungry sumbitch. It does phenomenal, if you can keep it fed. And it's not pressure it needs, its flow. First thing I tried with mine was drilling out the air chuck fitting, and that did it a lot of favors. The compressor I had feeding it was plenty high enough, so I wasn't worried there. I finally ended up going with a 1/2" ID air hose, with Rygo fittings, and all I can say is WOW. After that, I was busting shit loose that one of the other guys 3/4" NitroCat couldn't move. So, the two big things with a PT850 in my eyes are this. 1. Keep it oiled 2. Feed it plenty of air, in CFM.

Couple things to add my friend- a lot of what your talking about transposes to aviation, however the aviation industry has perfected the tooling you speak of because it has to. Rivnut installer- yardstore.com small size 8/32-10/32 also can order custom thread sizes if needed. Not a huge tool at all. 90° drill, not cordless however the shank of a 90 on a 1/4-28 is the better part of a 1/2 inch. You would need special drill bits but they are quick and easy to find. The shortest setup for drilling I have used is 1" OAL. Drill extractors. You win. Jobber bits with a solid tool grade steel easyout is the best option. Reverse thread drill bits are a gimmick. Also look into a Johnson bar or "El Brutus" (look it up). Other option is an "old man" with a rivet gun. Item 4. Just buy a Wagner temp controlled setup. I understand you need stuff that "portable" however to do a job properly. Sacrifice time for quality and get the more solid tooling and spend a little more time for a better product 😉.

The extractor kit looks like the one all the brands have there sticker on. Broke or stripped more extractors then screws removed. The soldering iron. I've had good luck with it but only repairing a wire or 2. Also theirs a shorter heat tip that actually works for the heat shrinks.

The extractor set you’re speaking of is great as long as you take your time. You’re right in the the bits break easily but my Snap On guy always replaced them for me. But yes, it is a finicky tool set set, but I have removed broken and stripped bolts and screws with the left handed drill bits alone without having to use the extractors.

The only advantage to the PT850 in our shop was color, we have a guy that’s nuts about the snap on green. He got one in green, it stays at snap on’s warranty center more than his box. My 2235TiMax IR gun has been going strong for almost three years.

The DS 1500 body style has no room for a bulky tool to install those rivnuts. Of course the DT has it's own issues with paint on the bolts for running boards. If I recall the thread on those is a 4x1.00. What we need is a tool that will help do a trailer wiring harness kit on a JL wrangler. Or a better template to put the clearance lights on a 2500/3500 truck.

This is a great video 'cause it really underscores how you gotta' keep your eyes open to the new tech. If you asked me 10 years ago, I'd have said air is the only way to go. Then I got hit with a brick and tried some of the new fangled lithium ion impacts and holy chit! Way less cost (all in) portable as heck and would work on almost anything but the nastiest of jobs. Lately I just upgraded my little (I mean tiny little unit) hex head impact and it has the same or more torque than some of my half inch drives (big heavy fkrs) --shocked the shit out of me! I don't care if you are talking Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, or whatever --there is some pretty impressive cordless stuff out there.

The soldering iron is made by an Irish company called portasol, if you’d bought the portasol branded one it is a 1/3 of the price. For the price of the snap on sticker you could have had the top model which is a great iron, certainly on par with a mid range electric one.

It was an amazing tool and I wish it came out maybe 4 or 5 years earlier then maybe I would get my money’s worth of it. But since battery impacts have stepped up big time in the last years I’ve ended up replacing my PT850 with the Milwaukee recently even though the impact wasn’t very old, it’s just old technology
