"...next time you do the job, you should support the strut housing with rope, instead of letting it hang by the brake hoses."

I noticed that too, in the Gallery pictures. And I believe the hose bracket bolt is 12mm head.

I doubt I'll ever do a pair of struts in 3 hours here in the North East. I spent about that long just on one Gland nut last week and had to give up (temporarily) due to rust.

For me, the job is usually tough enough to warrant paying more for the inserts.
