Description

Product Details:

A Wire Thread Repair Kit is a complete set of tools designed to restore damaged or stripped threads in metal components by installing wire thread inserts (Helical Inserts or Heli-Coils). These kits are essential for automotive, aerospace, industrial, and DIY applications, where stripped threads can cause mechanical failure.

Key Components of a Wire Thread Repair Kit:

1. Thread Inserts – Stainless steel helical inserts in various lengths and sizes.
2. Drill Bit (if included) – Prepares the damaged hole for re-threading.
3. Thread Tap – Cuts new threads in the drilled hole to fit the wire insert.
4. Installation Tool – Drives the insert into the tapped hole.
5. Tang Break-Off Tool – Removes the tang (if using tanged inserts).

Key Features:

• Restores & Strengthens Threads – Provides high-strength, wear-resistant threads in softer materials like aluminum and magnesium.
• Compatible with Standard & Metric Threads – Available in UNC, UNF, and metric sizes.
• Corrosion & Heat Resistant Inserts – Ideal for high-temperature and corrosive environments.
• Portable & Easy to Use – Comes in a compact case for on-the-go repairs.

Common Applications:

1. Automotive & Motorcycle Repair – Fixes stripped spark plug threads, engine blocks, and transmission housings.
2. Aerospace & Aviation – Reinforces threads in aircraft structures and components.
3. Industrial Machinery & Equipment – Restores threads in heavy-duty machines and tools.
4. Electronics & Appliances – Strengthens fastener holes in delicate components.

How to Use a Wire Thread Repair Kit:

1. Drill Out the Damaged Thread – Use the provided drill bit (if included) to remove old threads.
2. Tap New Threads – Use the included tap to cut new threads in the hole.
3. Insert the Wire Thread Insert – Use the installation tool to thread the insert into place.
4. Break Off the Tang (if applicable) – Use the tang break-off tool to remove the driving tang.
5. Reassemble the Fastener – The repaired thread is now stronger than the original.

Types of Wire Thread Repair Kits:

1. General-Purpose Kits – Covers standard metric and imperial sizes for basic repairs.
2. Automotive-Specific Kits – Includes inserts for spark plugs, oil pan bolts, and cylinder heads.
3. Heavy-Duty Kits – Features extra-long and high-strength inserts for industrial and aerospace use.
4. Tangless Kits – Uses tangless inserts to eliminate the need for tang break-off, reducing the risk of foreign object damage (FOD).
