FAQs

What thread sizes does this kit work with?

This kit works with M6 x 1.0, M8 x 1.25, and M10 x 1.5 thread sizes.

What materials can I use this kit on?

This kit is suitable for use on steel, cast iron, and aluminum.

Is any special training required to use this kit?

While not strictly required, some prior mechanical knowledge is helpful. Always read and follow the instructions provided.

What if the drill bit size is not correct?

Using the wrong size drill bit can damage the threads and make the repair impossible. Always use the drill bit size specified in the kit's instructions.

Can I use this kit for stripped bolt holes in plastic?

No, this kit is designed for use on steel, cast iron, and aluminum, not plastic materials.

What should I do if the tap breaks during the process?

If the tap breaks, you may need to use a tap extractor tool to remove the broken tap. Proceed with caution to avoid further damage.

How do I ensure the insert is installed correctly?

Make sure the insert is flush with the surface or slightly below. Over-tightening can damage the threads.

Troubleshooting

Insert won't thread in

Ensure the tapped hole is clean and the correct tap was used. Check for burrs or obstructions.

Insert is cross-threaded

Remove the insert and start the process again, ensuring the tap is straight and aligned.

Tang won't break off

Make sure you are using the correct tool and apply firm, steady pressure. If the tang is stubborn, use a small pick to gently remove it.
