Lamello Invis Mx2 6100300 Starter Kit

Saw this several years ago at the Lamello booth at a trade show. Been looking for an excuse to get it ever since. I have an upcoming project with the need for blind fastening that I could not think of any other way to accomplish, so I finally pulled the trigger. Just received it and put together a test joint. Took a bit to figure out all of the bits and pieces that came with the kit, but they do all have a purpose. The test joint worked out just as I had hoped. The tension applied by a single fastener is adequate. Not what one could achieve with a regular wrench or even a screwdriver, but adequate for something that may require future disassembly. Also enough force to clamp a good fitting glue joint.To answer a question from above, you cannot use standard nuts with this. The Invis fasteners are left hand threaded. My first thought was that they did this to make sure you use more of their fasteners, but then realized another reason was that the fittings insert into your material with a right hand thread, and the screw needs to be the opposite to prevent it from wanting to back the fitting out when tightened. It also makes using the spinning magnet tool more intuitive functioning as "righty tighty, lefty loosy", or forward on your drill to tighten and reverse to loosen.Seems overpriced for what's in the box, but great ideas are priceless, as are solutions to specific problems. For now, I am very pleased with this tool. I will try to remember to update this after my project is finished.

Works as expected, awesome tool.

Great Invention, Thank you!

I bough a red chair from IKEA which was missing the dowels required for assembly. They offered to ship them at no expense but instead I bough the Invis Mx2 Starter Kit and rushed to assemble the chair. Now my daughter can be proud of her $580 chair which we can disassemble at parties. Kids love it !
