Very strong. on Tools & Hardware

Used these baddies on the crankshaft on my 1978 Chevrolet Scottsdale where the stock bolts broke after an engine overhaul. Couldn't handle it. But these heli missions saved me!

Pros
  • Includes 6 bits, full instructions, heli coil tap and installation tool
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Perfect for Blazer S10.

Many owners of the 1st generation s10 Blazers have shortened the caliper guide bolts. This is a kit to solve your problem. Big screws don't work, don't waste your time. Buy this kit and do it right. I had a Blazer 94 S10.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Available in white only

Perfect for securing S10 caliper

Needed to repair a broken caliper guide pin knuckle on a 2000 Chevy S10. This did the job perfectly. I just had to cut the coil shorter as the fugue is not very wide. I was able to tighten the guide pin to spec and had no problems.

Pros
  • Supplied in box
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging

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…

Pros
  • Used to repair threaded holes
Cons
  • A lot

Poor fit, too tight

Terrible experience. I've used them before in other applications, but this time the fit was too tight and would lock into the speaker to the point where the driver could not be removed without pulling out the coil. Not sure why the fit is so bad, but I've run through the entire kit with the correct bit size and driver with the same results. The hole was deep enough and the included faucet worked fine, just not impressed with the coil's weakness. Now I need to use the last bolt if I can even…

Pros
  • For repairing threaded holes
Cons
  • Long delivery time
