EVO Rock skin nutserts

[MedixJK]

Anybody want to explain this process to me? Ive never messed with these before and dont feel like messing this up. I see from reading there is a tool, similar to a rivet gun id assume, that makes this easier? Any input would be awesome.

If you all are talking about the Astro 1442 tool then it works awesome! Highly recommend purchasing it.

Can you get it in a store or only online?

 

[tobias lopez]

Amazon has it for 67. With prime u can have it tommrow or Monday the latest with the two day free shipping

 

[mudmobeeler]

Around me it was online only. I don't know if any store sells it but I do know some stores that sell the Astro brand so they might be able to get it. It might be different for your area. Sorry, know that didn't really help you.

You would probably have better luck with Northern Tools or Fastenal.

I wasn't impressed with the astro brand it tended to crush the nutserts sideways, the westward is much better, I've installed over 300 nutserts on jeeps and not one failed with the westward, I used the astro for one set of skins and had two nutserts fail :yup:

I had really good luck with Astro tool. I practiced a few times on a blank piece of sheet steel first. While practicing, I learned how to appropriately crimp the nutserts. Just a little too much and they would go sideways. Once I got that figured out on my practice piece of metal, all of the inserts on the Jeep went in without any issue.

Hope this helps!

Interesting. I liked the Astro we used to install MTG's corners. No failures at all. Are you certain you were not drinking wine while doing the install? :cheesy::cheesy: :bleh:
