Review on πŸ”© E-Z LOK EZ-450-8 Threaded Inserts for Metal: M8-1.25 Installation Kit, Steel, Black Oxide - The Perfect Solution for Secure Metal Fastening by Mark Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All the necessary tools were there.

It was well packaged and contained a drill, a tap, a lightweight impact wrench insertion tool and ten bits. Yes, they were 1/4-20 on the inside and 3/8-13 on the outside, and they were kind of ellenrot on the outside. The beat was of acceptable quality but I had a better one that I used. The tap turned out to be the first - a very small cutting angle at the tip of the tap. It was the right size and would fit in a plate or something. My problem was that I had a blind hole. Through other purchases I had a 3/8-13 lead tap with a smaller cut angle on the end that I used. I needed a bottom tap - cut immediately, very difficult to launch into the hole. i did this I worked with aluminum and worked quite slowly so that I didn't need an even larger insole later. I also used a 3-in-1 cooling oil. I had the insert in about half an hour. I even used a dremel to sand it flush with the part, but that's what I expected given the close proximity. This worked fine for me and would be fine for most uses. Much better than my previous attempt at the spiral product.
