Review on πŸ”§ Hassle-free Helicoil 5521-6 3/8-16 Inch Coarse Thread Repair Kit – Restore Threads with Ease! by David Thomley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Spirals - good economical threaded inserts

Spiral coils - good economical threaded inserts. This kit does not come with a drill like most, but you will need a standard size drill and you probably already have one. There are two ways to install a spiral coil in a threaded hole made with the included tap. With this kit, you thread the insert onto a threaded insert tool (as opposed to a tool with a shouldered steel shank). The installation tool in this set has a small advantage as it makes it easier to install the insert when you need it at the bottom of the hole.

Pros
  • For repairing threaded holes
Cons
  • Some nuances
