A good one is the Beaspire 21” 2 in 1 rivnut tool kit which I will be writing about as regards subscriber feedback.
Beaspire 2-in-1 Rivet Nut Tool Kit comes in a unique 2-in-1 Foldable Design. The 21″ rivet nut tool is set with an upgraded foldable design in order to make operation more labour-saving. It can be used for blind rivets and rivnuts, hence the name “2 in 1”.
Design
The Beaspire 2 in 1 rivet nut tool kit is designed from a high-strength durable steel body, and blackened treatment prevents to corrosion and excellent non-slip PVC-covered handles providing comfortability and reliability for lifelong expectancy.
The non-slip steel handles with soft cushion grips make you feel at ease when riveting and help to avoid hand fatigue.
Ergonomics
The Beaspire 2 in 1 rivet nut tool kit features a unique folding chromium-molybdenum steel arm plus the ergonomic handle altogether proves its credence for great leverage.
For a lever heavy-duty gun, the longer the arm, the less force is required to squeeze the rivet. Hence in comparison to ordinary 16-inch and 17-inch rivnut tools, Beaspire 2-in-1 rivet nut tool kit handles measure 21-inches.
This implies that it can save more energy and help the riveting process easily and smoothly thereby saving up to 90% of user effort.
The rivet nut kit comes with a portable sturdy carrying case, which is convenient for storing rivet nuts and the tool itself.
The good part is the tool aptly fits the case because of the arm which is a drop-forged frame with a patented folding mechanism in order for compact storage attributes to be achieved despite the longer handle.

Conclusion
In conclusion. I wouldn’t say Beaspire “2 in 1” rivet nut tool kit is a bad choice, though the critics are true yet some of them could be tagged as the user’s fault. The mandrel breakages or damages happen in terms of too much pressure applied on the handles. The smaller rivnut requires just a minimum pressure to set.
If that can be handled, the user shouldn’t have a problem with the rivnut tool.
