This AB Tools thread repair kit is designed for professionals and home users needing to fix damaged 1/4" x 20 BSW threads.

This kit is specifically designed for 1/4" x 20 BSW (British Standard Whitworth) threads.
The inserts are made of stainless steel, providing high strength and resistance to rust and corrosion.
No, this kit is exclusively for 1/4" x 20 BSW imperial threads. You would need a different kit for metric sizes.
The kit includes 10 x 1/4" x 20 BSW helicoil inserts.
While designed for ease of use, some practice may be beneficial for perfect results. Basic mechanical aptitude is helpful.
Helicoils create a stronger, more durable thread than the original, especially in softer materials, and provide a permanent repair for damaged threads.
The kit comes in a blow-molded case, which should be used for storage to keep all components organized and protected.
Ensure the drill bit is sharp and the correct size for the helicoil. Use cutting fluid or oil for lubrication and cooling.
Ensure the hole is drilled correctly and the tap is started straight. Use adequate lubrication and turn the tap with steady pressure, backing it out periodically to clear chips.
Verify the tapped threads are clean and correctly formed. Ensure the helicoil is aligned properly with the tapped hole before installation.
Ensure the tang is accessible. Use the tool with a firm, downward motion to snap the tang cleanly. If difficult, try a small punch.
