Only thing I don't like about any of these type, is the size of the hole you gotta drill in the sheet metal . . . about 7/16" or so.

You don't need that $100 tool. This is all you need. Works fine on the aluminum rivet nuts. The steel ones are probably much harder to expand but I don't think you would want to use them anyways.
