If you e only got a few to fit they’re ok but it’s not a lifetime tool.
I have one of these now and the mandrels are a nicer design and have done more work than the three cheaper ones I had previously.

i have one that does up to 6mm in steel. i got it as i had a lot to do, but you do not need to have one to fit them and for larger than 6mm i use a bolt some nuts and some washers.

false thinking- stainless is generally weaker that mild steel. Stainless also corrodes mild steel that it is in contact with if damp. look up galvanic corrosion. we use stainless weld nuts and have steel bolts that are a service part so they dont fail.
