Not cheap but for arthritic hands, fingers and wrists it looks to be priceless. Even aluminum nutserts can hold a lot of pressure, stainless steel even more. I have used nutserts in protected wood, trailer skin to mount lights, on and on.

Anyway as soon as I can afford the drill nutsert tool I am getting one.
Thank you sir.
