What is the purpose of the lug breaking tool?

The lug breaking tool is used to snap off the small tang or 'lug' at the bottom of the installed Helicoil insert, leaving a flush internal thread.

Is this kit suitable for professional mechanic use or just DIY?

This kit is suitable for both professional mechanics and serious DIYers due to its comprehensive nature and range of sizes. It provides a durable solution for thread repair.

Does the kit include instructions on how to use it?

While the kit contains all the necessary tools, detailed step-by-step instructions are typically found in the product manual or can be referenced online for best practices in thread repair.

What is the material of the thread inserts?

The thread inserts are typically made of stainless steel to provide strength and resistance to corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Insert does not screw in smoothly

Ensure the correct size tap was used and the hole was drilled to the proper depth and diameter. Clean the tap and the hole.

Lug breaking tool does not remove the lug

Ensure the lug is properly seated in the slot of the breaking tool. Apply firm, steady pressure. If stubborn, a small punch might be needed carefully.

New thread feels loose

Verify that the correct size insert for the tapped hole was used. Ensure the insert was fully seated before breaking the lug.

Drill bit getting stuck

Use cutting fluid and drill at a consistent speed. Do not force the drill bit; retract periodically to clear chips.
