what are nutserts?

yeah so what are they and are they available locally?

 

A threaded piece (internal; various sizes) of material inserted through a hole (usually sheet metal or light gauge) that is rivited in place by squeezing the insertion tool handles.

Montreal; avialable? Look in the yellow pages under, "Industrial fasteners."
