Share

Overview

The Orion Motor Tech Metric Thread Repair Kit is a comprehensive professional-grade solution designed to restore damaged, stripped, or worn threads across a wide range of applications. This complete helicoil repair system includes 110 thread inserts in the five most commonly needed metric sizes (M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12), along with all the specialized tools required for successful thread restoration.

Built with durability at its core, this thread repair kit features high-speed steel drill bits and screw taps that have been heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of HRC 50-60, ensuring exceptional cutting performance and longevity even under demanding conditions. Each thread insert is manufactured from premium 304 stainless steel, providing superior strength and corrosion resistance that outlasts the original threads. The kit's versatility extends to multiple materials including aluminum, iron, carbon steel, bronze, and magnesium, making it an essential tool for automotive mechanics, machinists, and maintenance professionals.

The engineering behind this rethreading tool kit emphasizes ease of use without compromising precision. The included 135-degree drill bits are specifically designed to reduce the pressure required during drilling operations, minimizing operator fatigue and improving accuracy. Ten installation and tang breakoff tools feature rubber-coated handles that provide a comfortable, secure grip during the delicate insertion and finishing process. The installation tools accurately gauge hole depth and position each insert perfectly, while the breaker tools cleanly snap off the tangs once inserts are firmly tightened into place.

This complete thread repair system arrives in a durable storage case that keeps all components organized and protected. The portable design allows technicians to easily transport the kit between job sites, workshop stations, or service bays. Whether you're working on engine blocks, transmission housings, machinery frames, or any threaded component that has suffered damage, this kit provides a permanent, reliable repair solution that restores full thread strength and functionality.

FAQs

What materials can this thread repair kit be used on?
This kit effectively repairs threads in aluminum, iron, carbon steel, bronze, magnesium, and most other common metals found in automotive and industrial applications.
Are the thread inserts stronger than the original threads?
Yes, the 304 stainless steel inserts typically create threads that are stronger and more durable than the original material, especially in softer metals like aluminum.
Do I need any additional tools to use this kit?
No, this is a complete kit that includes all specialized tools needed for thread repair, including drill bits, taps, installation tools, tang breakers, and a hex wrench.
Can this kit repair both internal and external threads?
This helicoil kit is designed specifically for repairing internal (female) threads in holes and threaded bores.
How do I determine which size insert to use?
Match the insert size to your original thread specification (M5 for M5 threads, M6 for M6 threads, etc.), and follow the included instructions for proper drill bit and tap selection.
What is the purpose of the 135-degree drill bits?
The 135-degree point angle reduces the pressure needed to start and maintain the drilling cut, improving accuracy and making the drilling process easier and more controlled.
How permanent are the repaired threads?
When properly installed, helicoil inserts provide a permanent repair that can withstand repeated assembly/disassembly cycles and often outlast the surrounding material.
Can these inserts be removed and reinstalled if needed?
While inserts can technically be removed, they are designed as permanent repairs and removal may damage the insert, requiring replacement with a new one.
What does the tang breakoff tool do?
After the insert is fully installed and tightened into position, the tang breakoff tool cleanly snaps off the driving tang at the bottom of the insert, completing the installation.
Is this kit suitable for high-vibration applications?
Yes, helicoil inserts provide excellent resistance to vibration loosening and are commonly used in automotive engines and other high-vibration environments where thread reliability is critical.
