Heli-Coil Thread Repair Installation Tool

The Heli-Coil Thread Repair Installation Tool is a hand installation tool for fitting Heli-Coil wire thread inserts. It is used to repair stripped, damaged or worn threads, and to reinforce threads in softer materials. Mechanics, machinists and DIY users may know it as a thread repair insert installer, an insert driver or a thread insert installation tool.

Key Features:

• Designed to install Heli-Coil screw-thread inserts into a tapped hole
• Helps seat the insert correctly so it ends up at the proper depth in the repaired thread
• Works as part of the Heli-Coil thread repair process: drill, tap, install the insert, then break off the tang where applicable
• Built for repeated use in the shop, garage or field
• Suitable for automotive, motorcycle, marine, RV, powersports and general mechanical repairs

A Heli-Coil repair restores a damaged thread without replacing the part, such as a cylinder head, engine block, housing or other component. Heli-Coil inserts are made of stainless steel wire and form a strong, wear-resistant internal thread. Use the installation tool that matches the thread size and insert type you are repairing.
