One of my favorite tools - You can quickly and easily put a threaded hole in thin metal and/or repair a stripped out hole in an electrical box (see warning below). These are also called: rivet nuts, rivnuts, threaded inserts, blind rivet nuts, nutsert, ....

MATERIALS:
- Compression inserts (threaded)
- Compression tool
- Drill bit (per insert size) / drill

WARNING: Never drill into an electrical box with live wires.  Protect wires.  Always use appropriate safety equipment and procedures.  If you don't know, learn or don't do it!
