Awesome Tool
The second tool from E-Z Lok I've purchased, definitely won't be the last either. Tool works super well, I do wish it came with the drill bit though.

Not all threaded inserts are the same!
I was unaware of E-Z Lok threaded inserts until after I'd had trouble with the name brand everyone knows so I searched online and found E-Z. Not wanting to end up with the same issues I'd had with the other brand I reached out to E-Z's customer service, explained my situation, and received a reply by the next morning. In the reply were recommendations for which product to use (with part #'s) depending on my situation, so I made my choice and ordered this kit.1) The insert tool is FAR superior to the other brands and it seems to make a real difference2) The inserts themselves appear to be tighter wound, so they started in the freshly tapped hole much easier than the other brandThe threaded inserts are in my engine and work perfectly!Any time I need a threaded insert in the future I'll be buying E-Z's, no questions asked, and so should you.

Wasting resources and polluting Earth to make such products should be a crime.
The tap arrived broken. One side of it was separated so that only two of the three edges remained. So I bought a decent one to tap the hole and then used the installation tool from this kit to finish the job. The tang break-off notch on the end of the tool broke during installation. When I cheap out on a tool, I expect to get cheap quality, but it should be a crime to waste natural resources and pollute the Earth to manufacture this kind of thing. It's completely useless. Do yourself a favor and find decent tools. This kit is WAY overpriced. DON'T BUY IT.

Drilled, Tapped and & installed Helical insert
This installed easily in aluminum-I have installed hundreds of helicoils in my toolmaking career-The instructions stated it was for soft metals like aluminum-I used a good tapping fluid to tap and then cleaned out the treads with a good tuner spray before installing the coil. Just remember do not try to force the coil into the treads, it will find its way nice and easy.

Helicoil inserts are a magic solution
Stripped threads are recovered easily with the helicoil insert. These little kits come with everything needed - perfect.

Installed easily.
The tap worked very well. Follow instructions and it will fix your stripped hole issue in aluminum. Didn't think the made such small thread repair kits. Saved my 20 plus year old outboard from.the scrap heap.

Wrong TPI tap
After 2-3 years of people saying it’s the wrong tap spec, the problem still persists. I failed to confirm the TPI before tapping the hole (I know….duh), now my vintage carburetor is ruined…

Decent but won't last
Taps aren't as durable as named brands, will do 2 or 3 rethreads before the edges go dull.
