XPOtool 131 pcs Thread Repair Kit M5-M12 Thread Inserts Drill Bits Tool Set for Metric Threads

Fortunately, thanks to the XPOtool thread repair kit, it is not necessary to replace the entire component. This 131-piece set contains all the tools needed to repair overtightened threaded holes.

The tool set contains thread inserts for the most common metric internal threads (M5, M6, M8, M10, M12). These threaded inserts are made of durable, heat-treated steel and are therefore ideal for repairing worn screw threads in steel, cast iron, iron and aluminium. The spiral inserts are also suitable for reinforcing threads. The associated tool is made of high-strength high-speed steel (HSS) to ensure clean repair of frayed threads.

To repair the thread, the defective thread must first be drilled out using the appropriate twist drill. A new thread is then cut with the tap. The new threaded sleeve is then inserted. To do this, place the insert on the insertion tool and screw it into the newly drilled thread. Finally, the protruding insertion spigot on the threaded insert must be removed. To do this, use a hammer to drive the tang breaker into the new thread until the tang breaks. That's it!

The XPOtool thread repair kit is supplied in a practical metal case for easy transport and safe storage in your workshop or garage. The thread repair kit is suitable for professionals or car enthusiasts in the hobby sector for engine repairs and other applications.
