Riv-nut tool

Hi guys, I was trying to think of a way to install 1/4'' aluminum riv-nuts without buying a $200 tool.... This is the result, a 1/4'' UNC grade 8 bolt & nut, hardened flat washer, 1/2'' bolt with a piece of hose over it and a piece of 1''x1/8'' flat bar.
Two turns of the nut pulls the riv-nut into the panel well.
Happy days, Steve.
