Housed in a compact carrying case, the kit includes the most commonly used imperial and metric sizes—ranging from 1\/4\" to 1\/2\" and M5 to M12—so you can work on automotive, industrial, and household projects without hunting for individual components. Every cutting and installation tool is heat-treated steel for repeated use, and the set comes with installation and tang break-off tools to finish each repair cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the kit repair stripped threads?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit repairs damaged internal threads by enlarging the hole to the correct sized diameter, cutting a new thread pattern, and inserting a coiled wire-thread insert to recreate the original thread profile. This method preserves the parent material while providing a durable new thread with steel coil strength. The included break-off tools remove installation tangs to leave a flush, usable hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStepwise process: drill, tap, insert, break off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoil inserts restore original bolt fit and torque capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135° drill bits ensure accurate hole clearance for inserts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang break-off tools cleanly finish the insert installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich sizes and components are included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside the molded case you’ll find drill bits, taps, wire inserts, installation mandrels, and tang break-off tools in the five most common SAE and metric ranges.
