Easy to install but make sure you have the right faucet and 72 hours!

Very simple. but make sure you have the correct tap size, the EZ-LOK I used calls for a 9/16-12 tap, but my set only fits up to 1/2". It takes 72 hours, so I don't risk it

Pros
  • Ideal for soft metals such as aluminium, cast iron or magnesium
Cons
  • Long delivery time

This insert worked great and I am happy with the results.

I have an old Italian Silca tire pump with a small handle. The original plastic pin has a metric threaded insert that I couldn't remove. I figured I could cut a broom handle to the length I needed and drill a hole in the handle for an insert, but I couldn't find an insert at my local hardware store. This insert worked great and I am happy with the results.

Pros
  • Made in America - strong, durable construction
Cons
  • No instructions

This product is great! I replaced the valve cover on mine.

This product is great! I was replacing a valve cover on my 2005 Nissan Altima and ended up pulling more than one thread. I thought that was it. I did a little research and stumbled across the spiral coil and gave it a try. It may be good for other things, but not for what I need. Then I stumbled across this product and when I received it I installed it and now my Altima is back on the road with no valve cover issues!

Pros
  • Sturdy full wall design
Cons
  • Get out
