FAQs

What materials can this kit repair?

This kit is designed for aluminum, iron, carbon steel, and magnesium.

Are the thread inserts reusable?

No, thread inserts are designed for a one-time installation to restore a damaged hole permanently.

Does this kit include everything needed for M8 threads?

Yes, the kit includes the corresponding drill, tap, installation tool, and inserts for M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12 sizes.

Can I use this for non-metric threads?

No, this kit is strictly designed for metric thread repair.

Is cutting oil included in the kit?

The kit does not include cutting oil; it is highly recommended to purchase high-quality cutting oil separately for best results.

Troubleshooting

The insert will not sit flush after installation

Ensure the hole was tapped to the correct depth and verify that there is no debris left at the bottom of the hole.

Tap is binding during the threading process

Back the tap out periodically to clear metal shavings and ensure you are using adequate cutting oil.

The installation tool tang will not break off

Apply a sharp, firm strike to the breaking pin tool rather than a slow push to cleanly snap the tang.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extensive variety of insert sizes (M5 to M12)
  • Durable 304 stainless steel inserts provide superior longevity
  • Heat-treated drill bits and taps offer professional cutting precision
  • Includes comfortable, rubber-coated installation tools
  • Sturdy case keeps all parts organized

Cons

  • Requires mechanical proficiency to drill and tap correctly
  • Not suitable for hardened materials exceeding the tool's rating
  • Limited to metric thread sizes only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin a repair, select the appropriate drill bit and tap for your specific bolt diameter. Always use cutting oil when drilling and tapping to prevent heat build-up and preserve the life of the included tools. Once the hole is tapped, use the installation tool to seat the thread insert. Ensure the insert is slightly below the surface of the hole before removing the tang. For care, keep the drill bits and taps clean and lightly oiled to prevent oxidation, and store them in the designated slots within the carrying case to prevent damage to the cutting edges.
