    I have seen a tool that is like a rivet gun but uses nuts in sheet metal so you can use screws instead if sheet metal screws that can strip out. Know what I am talking about LOL ? Anyway,,Know where I can get one with the hardware ? Thanks, Ron

    I just bought a couple last week from McMaster Carr. The tool was $52 and the mandrels are $12 apiece up to 1/4-20. There are a couple of mandrels included with the tool, but I don't remember what sizes. We use them by the hundreds at the sheet metal shop where I work.
