Harbor Freight Tools has them as does Menard's. I know there are no Menard's in Texas but perhaps Lowes.

I picked up one from Homepro Fasteners on Ebay. It's around 100 bucks as a kit but worth it. I've actually used the tool more than I thought I would.

There's actually a tool for that?!?! Damn it, and here I've been using an Allen wrench, bolt, couple of nuts and lock washers.

I bought the menard's tool before the homepro kit. I wasn't impressed with it so I took it back. It all depends on if you want a tool to get the job done or one that works good. You get what you pay for.

I hope your loads arent very heavy. I would not trust a nutsert for very much pressure load. They will probably just pull out.
