Has anyone actually used this for steel M12? I need to install one but I really cannot have a mistake or bad set. Thank you.

Only used aluminum, but I was disappointed the set didn't come with a few rivnuts. Set works great, though!

I used this to install Steel M8's on my 2014 Camaro HPE650 spoiler. Trust me, nothing like drilling holes in a $800.00 spoiler on a $80,000.00 car to install a $300.00 part. This tool did the job and did it right. I advise you get used to it on a piece of scrap metal first, I did and I don't regret it. You can strip riv-nuts with it. I personally think this tool is awesome and have since used it on more than a few other projects.

Ron I have not tried steel. but with plastic (PVC, PPHD) works so good! feed rate for plastic x , y 100 mm/Min. z 50 mm/Min.. I tried aluminum once feed rate x y 50mm/min z=10 mm/min., deep for z<=0.254mm tool bit 1/8 diameter, 2 flutes.....Yes too slow! But It's CNC. It's glad to be able to help you. Victor

I purchased the Lee Loadmaster for .223 and it came with a LEE FULL length carbide sizing die set. This was ready to rock and roll out of the package. I replaced that die set with a .300 AAC Blackout Die sets to load .300 AAC Blackout. It's easy and fun and Lee supports their product. I broke the sizing die rod (it was my fault), I called Lee and they sent me another one free of charge. Good luck

yes-this M12 screw gun is the best i have owned between several name brands. Also have a M12 VOM, Hakzall, LED flashlight, dual torque / speed drill, 40:1 IR Temp. gun. They are all GREAT products. I am in the HVAC/R trade.

They're roughly the same size as the LMF Scout steel, which is approx 3000 strikes. Depending in your skill, your tinder and environment, that could mean anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand fires per steel. They're a good deal for backup steels, though i'd recommend getting a larger firesteel to practice with! Coghlans is good for not much money, LMF Army is still the standard! Good luck!

Check the written description if any. My purchase was for all graphite shafts. The price I paid was extremely low for all graphite shafts and really was similar to prices for the steel/graphite stes. Send an inquiry to the seller-they will answer. Good luck.

I have a friend that put one on his M1A scout. It's pretty much ideal in that application. He used Warne QD "low" rings.

The certs that come with the tool are somewhat mediocre, you would be better off with the ribbed ones, they hold a lot tighter are are plated to reduce rusting. However there is nothing really preventing you from using the steel ones besides there inclination to spin then you tighten the bolt, and a possible issue with rust

I suppose. I didn't want to ruin the finish of my brand new M&P9.; So, I took it to a gunsmith. I wrapped my other pistols with blue tape to protect the finish as much as possible. They were used so I didn't mind. Just ensure the pusher is lined up with the front sight channel, before you attempt to remove. Hope that was helpful. It even worked on my XD, which is reported to be the hardest.

its not about the brand. It has to be real steel. Try a magnet on it. If magnet stays, its not steel, don't use it.

Yes, I bought it and installed it in my M1330 after my stock card went bad. It works so much better than the stock one.

I would take the striped hardware comment with a grain of salt. I believe the mount is aluminum and like guns that have an aluminum receiver you need to use locktite and not over tighten. My buddy and I both have the same mount -one on a pre 64 the other a post 64. Neither of us had any trouble mounting this unit and neither has had any issues or needed adjustments since sight in (using the same load/bullet). I had to use locktite to make the mounts on my mini 14 stay on too and they're steel (good steel), so it doesn't matter which material you're going to have to use locktite anyways. I know sometimes you get a bad unit but I haven't seen one yet. People's mechanical skills vary keep that in mind.

As far as dimensions, the CA M15 has very close tolerances to real steel... These are pretty "generous" compared to metal mags... If your magwell has a little freedom with metal magazines you should be ok.

The M12 line is good. The copper cutter, PVC cutter, impact gun- all good. The stud finder NOT so good. Mine is 7/8" off for a stud through drywall. My $20 one is more accurate. DON'T waste your money.

Did anyone ever answer your question? I too have this same gun and thinking of making the purchase of this trainer. If you would, let me know. Thanks.

Throw it away. They no longer make it. Steel Series was never able to really support the product or make it function well. I tried for weeks to get it to work. You can use just about any USB connector but that may not resolve the connection issues due to difference in wires between manufacturers. I stopped using Steel Series due to poor or no support.
