Out here in the west we call them "nutserts" and I use a pair of vicegrips to install them. Not the best and I had to ruin a few to get the hang of it. Basically, squeeze them very gently a little at a time and make sure the hole is the right size. These are 8-32 but I keep meaning to go to 10-32, 8-32 is a little thin for these big amps.
The Hammertone Viper ended up doing a header into the ditch this summer during a road trip to Alberta. One broken resistor lead and four bent chassis screws was all the damage (also some "patina")

Old Joke: Back east they call it premature ejaculation but out here in the west we call it havin' a fast gun.
