    You can "make" a cruse nut-sert tool with a simple bolt and spacer. Might seem crude but can be effective. BTDT..

    That guy's method relies on the friction fit of the nut-sert in the metal hole to work, because the "oversized nut" spins freely on the bolt. That can be a real problem in softer materials like fiberglass. Try this one instead - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heLMQYwE1_o

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
