Review on πŸ”§ Helicoil 5528-7 7/16-20 Fine Thread Repair Kit - Premium Solution for Precision Repairs by Jake Pavelko

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor fit, too tight on metric inserts and kits

Terrible experience. I've used them before in other applications but this time the fit was too snug and kept clipping onto the driver to the point where he couldn't remove the driver without pulling out the coil. Not sure why the fit is so bad, but I've run through the entire set with the correct bit size and driver with the same results. The hole was deep enough and the included faucet worked great just not impressed by the weakness of the coil. Now I need to use the last bolt if I can even find it.

Pros
  • Used to repair threaded holes
Cons
  • A lot
