Review on πŸ”© E-Z Lok EK20510 Helical Threaded Insert Kit - 304 SS - #8-32 Thread - 0.164" Installed Length (10 Pack) by Carl Durant

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The included faucet is cheap/junk. Do not buy.

That would be a good product if the faucet didn't break right away! I've been designing and building things my whole life so I'm not new to using a crane. I just repaired a cast aluminum steering wheel adapter. I custom tapped the box, lubricated the hole and tap with a magic tap, oil for cutting the tap. And once I had about 3 threads I had 0 effort on the faucet and heard it break. I was able to pull it out and at the cut line where it broke you can clearly see either the impurities in the tool steel or it has been broken along a thread for some time and has started to rust. It was just a shitty faucet. Buy with caution. I recommend spending a little more and getting a "Helicoil" thread repair kit.
