## Description

Perma-Coil helically coiled inserts are made of stainless steel wire that has been rolled to a carefully controlled thread form. When installed, Perma-Coil inserts adjust to a tapped hole, becoming a functional thread with a strength exceeding the original. Perma-Coil inserts and repair kits are designed to repair stripped threads in a variety of metals. Aluminum, aluminum alloys, steel, and cast iron. If the original threads can be stripped, Perma-Coil inserts can repair them. By following the detailed instructions enclosed in every Perma-Coil kit, even an inexperienced do-it-yourselfer can repair stripped threads, permanently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Worked Great
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2016*

I had no problems using the kit.  I bought it to repair a vintage cabinet drawer pull that could not be replaced.  I clamped the drawer pull in a vise and used a drill press to drill the required new diameter hole for the larger tap.  The insert went smoothly into the newly tapped hole. The entire job took no more than 10 minutes.As other people have mentioned, this kit does not include the necessary 11/64 drill bit but I already had one.  This kit also does not include the blue pre-threader but I didn't need it.The kit did what I needed for less cost than the Heli-Coil kit.

    Not Quite a Complete Package
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014*

Broke a 1/4-in bolt in an aluminum lawn mower engine block.  (Whoever worked on the engine last did not use anti-seize compound on the bolt threads, so the steel screw galled the threads in the aluminum block, causing it to seize.)  For those who read this and don't know it, high-end equipment with an aluminum engine block uses thread inserts so that steel bolts can be used and removed without the need for anti-seize compound (PermaTex). This insert kit is sold by Thread Kits under the trade mark of Perma-Coil, and it does the job just as well as the Heli-Coil brand inserts, only for a LOT less money.  The user instructions are adequate, but do not address the purpose of the yellow plastic mesh.  (Instructions refer to use of a "BLUE pre-winder," but the package contains nothing blue.)  If the needed drill bit were included , this kit would be the ideal, "everything you need for the job" package.  In their defense, the instructions do specify what size drill bit to use (11/64" for the 1/4" insert).  I did not use the yellow mesh or the fictitous "blue pre-winder", but managed to install the insert successfully and without difficulty, thank you very much.  As a secondary note, I have mechanic friends who shy away from thread inserts because they've had "bad luck" with them backing out of the hole during subsequent removal of the bolt.  In my Air Force days, we used helical inserts religiously and never had any problem with them backing out, so I accepted this with a grain of salt.  After insertion, remove the insert tang in accordance with the instructions and you should never have the backing-out problem.  And, no, I did not use thread lock (Loc-tite) on the insert.  When the bolt is inserted, the torque force will induce the thread insert to seize with the aluminum threads and prevent it from moving.
