TIME-SERT M8x1.25 thread repair kit #1812

I’ve used heli-coils for repairs in the past and they have worked well. However, this stripped hole was on a part that took many days to get the housing accessible and I wanted a highly reliable repair. The kit is well packed and protected, appears to be high quality, and worked smoothly for this repair. The final condition almost made me want to ‘fix’ the surrounding holes (that were perfectly ok). Bottom line: expensive as I needed the full kit to start but worth the investment for this task. If the hole was in a more readily accessible location, I would have just picked up the heli-coil size and used my existing drill and die set. However, now that I have the set, it will be my first choice in the future.

Magic lil till... Worked amazing, almost makes ya feel like a pro... Definitely better then a normal heli coil...

Worked good, great for aluminum repairs. The tap is m10x1.25 incase you want to use a bottoming tap. Only includes a regular thru hole tap

There is no better way to correct stripped threads. Wish there was a multi-size kit. Would be a fantastic addition to any garage.

quality of kit.
