An actual improvement to the 2023 ranger over the previous ones.

Wow, $100 at Amazon (and I'm still pretty clueless as what it does!). =D

Thanks for the video, gonna watch it now. =)
Update: Holy Cow! This is an awesome video! Thanks!!!

I see this manual one, is it the same kind of thing? Only $24:

Forget this. I tryed it and it was crap. The M4 might work but the bigger Dimensions … even if you have hands like a vice the tool will give up because of cheap and soft metal. If not instantly than after a few placed nuts. Think about the damage if placed a nut and befor it sits tight the ?mandrel? gives up!
And the drilldrive thing was about the same…

the only real solution is this stanley/masterfix thing for 200€

Thanks for the info, the situation you're describing is exactly what makes me the craziest. I'm already not a patient person and this would make me batsh!t crazy! And thansk for that link too! =)

I'm going to try that poor man's version in the video someone linked above, just usng another bolt and some washers. If I was doing this a lot, then what you see in yoru video looks like a top-quality tool.

And good call on hands like a vice, my grip's gotten pretty crappy in the last few years.

I recently bought this one for doing a batch of 3/8 inserts and worked good. Too easy to strip the small inserts with it though. Used the bolt and nut for years before and that works good for a few but gets old quick when doing 100. Wish you were closer, I'd let you borrow it.

More precise- Aug 22 Build - gained oil filter access cover bolts but lost Led Headlights and Hood Struts, which both of those have been rectified.
So it appears that the late 22 builds was the delete of the plastic retainers

03/07/22 blend date and have the bolts
