Definitely worth having. I just bought the Silverline one as its made by the same company that makes the Draper one but much cheaper.

I bought the Silverline one and it's been fine so far 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

I used a cheapo one and it was fine until I went mad at the Exeter show and brought one of the Memfast sets. Well, the difference is unbelievable,
requires almost no effort and can get the right amount of squeeze every time. It's also superbly made and will last me a lifetime.
Obviously I'd highly recommend one, have a chat with the guy at Stoneleigh if you're going he did me a bit of a discount on a load of
rivnuts too.

How much is the memfast tool at Stoneleigh? Cause I might just wait for the show if it's discounted over web price?
Thanks,

Less weight more speed, more power more speed
If in doubt, give it a clout

If your only going to be doing one or two at a time have you thought about just using a set screw with a nut and a washer. Whilst I used mine a bit
when building the car I don't know if I would bye one just for the sake of it

Memfast if you have the money, if not the £20 laser 0979 tool has worked well for me, broken a couple of the m3 mandrels but the dealer or laser
replace them for free.
