The professional rivnut setting tools are very handy and make the job of putting in lots of them go faster. Howver you dont actually need one and finacially it does not make sense to invest in that tool if you are only putting in a few of them. Head to youtube, enter the keywords install rivnut and you will learn how to do it without buying a rivnut tool.

Besides that don't you have enough tools in your toolbox to haul around? Tools are heavy, why buy another one just to install a few rivnuts when you can put them in using the tools you aready carry? If you are going into the van build business or putting in  a hundred or so of them buying the tool makes sense as it is a time saver.
