That’s a good one. They seem to work flawlessly. Don’t care for them too much though. Just a preference. The snap back one is nice when it works consistently. I’ve got an extra one. Maybe I should get off my lazy butt and swap it out?
I've seen @mrblaine make that same recommendation at least once on here. He's probably installed more nutserts than the rest of us combined. I think he said he's broken more than one of those tools, along with several mandrels, using power tools to drive them and only uses a long-handled 1/4" drive ratchet on them, and only for nutserts 1/4" and smaller. But I've tagged him to correct me if I'm mis-remembering his posts.
The first thing that happens with a power tool is the top half above the detent on the hex drive breaks off if you don't use a deep socket or get the chuck down past. The next is the tool breaks internally. I have several power tools I tried it with, not worth the hassle.
I modified a Milwaukee clamp style drill handle to do just that for the larger nutserts. Definitely a design flaw on their part to not offer, or include a short handle and a place for something to attach to the body.
