Rivnut Tool Recommendations?

4x4x4doors

Adventurist
Looks like I'm going to get myself a rivnut tool for some upcoming and ongoing projects.
Anyone have particular recommendations?
General usage, not much specific.
Use on some bedmount stuff, perhaps rear cab wall. Maybe more.
Looking around online, I can see some differences in the setup with some seemingly more towards pneumatic driven, others look to be more leveraged arm-power. Looking for ease of use, reasonable cost --but prefer to buy once and be done.
Amazon seems to run $50-$80 for a kit with rivnuts.

I got mine from McMaster-Carr. About $55. It's a solid tool. Got a M8 nosepiece to go with. For larger than M8 I'd go with pneumatic.

This is timely. I'm about to order a cargo-glide for my truck and it uses rivnuts, and I always hate the tools that get sent with parts like that.
 
I have one of the bolt cutter looking ones. Works well, but is big.

Astro( I belive is the only brand) , makes one that hooks to a cordless drill
Supposed to be really nice.
