I made one by converting an old rivet gun.

Its good for 4mm nutserts (which are the only ones I'm using).Take out the spring and gripper, put in a M4 x 100 lg bolt, ends up looking a bit like Harrymacs authentic blue tool. Occasionally the bolt breaks, just replace with another. You may have to drill out the rivet nipple at the front to 4mm, this acts as the anvil.

When finished you can reassemble as a riveter.

I have installed over 100 nutserts with this.

Happy hacking!
