Review on πŸ”§ Restore Threads with AB Tools M12 x 1.5mm Thread Repair Kit/Helicoil - 15pc Set (AN046) by James Lighting

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy repair for stripped threads

So I foolishly ignored the torque rating on my bike's drain plug the last time I changed the oil. Warning: Don't do this. When I pulled out the drain plug to replace it again, the threads came out with the plug. After my swearing subsided I bought this little kit to reverse the drain plug hole. It works exactly as advertised. You will need to purchase cutting oil and a faucet handle as neither is included. But once you have them, the drilling and tapping process works as it should and the repair spool screws in nicely. The kit includes a punch to break out the central protrusion in the Repair Spool, and several (apparently six?) Repair Spools of the size listed. The set is well made and easy to use.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • No power
