Default Stud installer tool recommendations?

I can always use the double nut method to install studs, but i think doing this isn't good for the threads. Anyone have any recommendations? I know that Snap-On and Mac tools makes a stud installer collet kit, it's real expensive though. If you want to know what i consider expensive, just look at this! http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog

1719.95 for a 63 piece stud remover/dowel pin remover kit.

Princess Auto, 40 bucks. Not the same style but I would think it would work OK.

Koken 4203M

Installers only. 6 x 1.0, 8 x 1.25, 10 x 1.5, and 12 x 1.75.

1/2" drive (Very German....they use 1/2 drive for almost everything), so a bit "large", but they work very well.

Snap-on used to make a set of installers that worked exactly like these (internal ball bearing to allow the "stud" to release without backing out), but they did not make them for very long. I tried for years to find one of those sets and finally gave up and use these.

Wow, that tool number gave me exactly what i was looking for in Google. Thanks Greg. Good enough for you should be too good for a cheap bastard like me.

Also wanted to ask an unrelated question, why does 928 Specialists only let you enter a city that's 10 characters or under when getting shipping rates??
