I've got one of these and they work just fine. No mysteries really, just
like the pictures show. You drill the hole, put the threaded rivet in and
squeeze. Only thing is that the rivets lock by crumpling and if the
crumpling isn't even, the thread might end up skew. But you just stick a
rod down into the hole and lever it straight. Great for sheet metal work
when you need to bolt something onto the sheet eg tail light lens onto
body.
