The box was opened, I think it was used

The first thing that struck me about the product was that the seal on the plastic box/container was broken. Opened it up and everything looked fine except I was missing one of the 5 advertised inserts (ie it was 4 out of 5). Someone probably used this kit and one of the earbuds and returned it and sold it to me at a new price. $125 for a used kit with no insert. Not cool. I don't give it back I only needed 2 insoles and having the bike in a few days couldn't wait for another set. If I hadn't…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Long time

A well-designed kit saves the day!

This is a very well designed kit containing all the special tools and steel inserts to repair up to 5 stripped oil drain plugs with the same thread pitch. Luckily (unfortunately?) I only had two broken plugs in my Bobcat tractor's oil pan. The instructions were very clear and the sharp drill, reamer and tap got the job done quickly. I ended up using sealed steel threaded inserts in the tractor's aluminum oil pan. It took about an hour to install both inserts and the tractor is back in action…

Pros
  • The best in the niche
Cons
  • Lightly dented

Amazing product in thread repair kits

I was a bit hesitant to buy it because it's a bit expensive but it's definitely worth it. The tools feel very good and are razor sharp. I was afraid to take on this project, but it turned out to be a lot easier than I thought. As long as you take your time and don't force anything too much, you'll be fine. It is imperative that you keep the tools straight or they will cut crookedly because they are so sharp. You also get a few extra liners in case you screw up one or need one for another car. I

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Great idea but flimsy, cumbersome and of questionable quality

The tough men at the local mechanic mistook the oil drain plug in my Lexus SC400 for the nut that holds the blade to the helicopter, so the oil drain plug was ripped off . I was either going to drill and tap a larger size or shoot a spiral when I found these tubes and they looked good so I gave it a try. The set arrived and I found that the square shank drill bit and countersink were too big for my set of taps so I bought a set of sockets for the #9, 10 and 11 taps. Square shank size, their…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style
