HELICOIL® thread inserts are designed to evenly distribute loads across the screw for even distribution of stress These Standard Metric Kits are ideal for repairing threads of existing fasteners. All kit sizes up to 5/8in./M16 come with 30 inserts (10-1D, 10-1.5D, 10-2D). M10 x 1.5 to M24 x 3.0 no drill bits supplied. Equipped with an inserting tool, tang remover and tap, these kits are an ideal way of ensuring you have the correct tools to hand to repair fastener threads when necessary. Supplied in a plastic carry case. A Helicoil is essentially a free-running, stainless steel wire coil that is inserted into a hole with a thread that has been specially tapped to accept it. It is used to create a standard-sized, internal screw thread within the existing hole. Helicoils come in a range of different metric thread sizes.

Our helicoils are available as individual coil inserts or as a kit. The kits contain everything needed to install a Helicoil, including the inserts themselves, a drill bit and a tap, an inserting tool and a tang break off tool. Our standard free running wire thread inserts are produced from Austenitic Stainless Steel wire (304/A2 Stainless), which is cold drawn (profiled) to form a diamond-shaped wire. This wire is then helically coiled to produce the wire thread insert. The stainless steel inserts eliminate thread wear, corrosion, galling and rust. Helicoils, sometimes called recoils or thread repair inserts, are precision inserts that are most commonly used to repair damaged or worn threads. They can also be used to create strong new threads.

Sometimes referred to by the brand names of Helicoilï¾® or Recoilï¾®, helically-coiled wire thread inserts are a thread strengthening fastening device used to create high strength threads in softer core materials. The high performance internal thread provided by our wire inserts is far stronger than most parent materials, and is also heat, corrosion, and wear resistant too.

Step Five: Screw

Metric is the most common thread type in production today. Usually specified as M then a number x another number. This signifies the thread diameter and the length of the fastener.
