I'm lookin for a place to get some 1/4"-5/16" nutserts for attaching brackets and skid plates to the bottom of my frame. I'm gonna be buyin em by the box, but all the ones i've been able to find require a special installation tool. I'm lookin for the ones that you just stick a spacer on the bolt to hold the nutsert in place and then tighten. I'm gonna be selling some stuff that would require them when i open the shop, so I'd like to know an easy way to get em quickly, whether mail order or a local place. Thanks.

Fastenal.com Pick up a catalog from one of their stores. They'll have every kind of nutsert you will need.

Any nutsert can be installed with the bolt and spacer trick, but the tool (large rivet pliers or pneumatic gun) makes life a LOT easier, especially if you plan on doing any kind of production with them.
