    Easy-Start Helical Threaded Insert Installation Tools

    These tools compress the diameter of your insert so it fits easily into a tapped hole. They’re the best choice for preventing misaligned or damaged threads—just make sure you have space to turn the crank. Screw or slide an insert onto your tool and drive it between a quarter-turn and half-turn below the surface. Also known as prewinders.

    Threaded Drive

    Ensure consistent installation across multiple inserts. Set your desired installation depth, and the stop will prevent you from driving your insert any further.
    Prong Slot Drive Helical Insert Tool—Install both left- and right-hand threaded inserts with any thread pitch. However, these tools don't align the threads like threaded-drive tools, so installation may be more difficult.
    Threaded Drive Helical Insert Tool—These tools align each coil of your insert perfectly with the thread pitch of your tapped hole for easy installation.

    Easy-Start Prongless Helical Threaded Insert Installation Tools

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Insert Installation Tools. Easy-Start Prongless Helical Threaded Insert Installation Tools.
    Install prongless (tangless) helical inserts more quickly and consistently than with standard tools. These tools compress your insert’s diameter and align each coil with the thread pitch, guiding it straight into a tapped hole. They’re the best choice for preventing misaligned or damaged threads. Just make sure you have space to turn the crank. Screw an insert onto these tools and drive them a quarter- to half-turn below the material’s surface. Also known as prewinders.

    Install tapping inserts into metal, plastic, and wood with these tools. They have hardened steel threads that grip the full length of the insert for strong, rigid support as the insert cuts threads. The result is a straight and stable install.
    Square Shank—These tools don’t have a handle. Attach them to a tap wrench to turn.
    Loosening Nut—After installation, this nut lets you unthread the tool without unthreading the insert.

    Spring-Loaded Helical Threaded Insert Prong Break-Off Tools

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Insert Installation Tools. Spring-Loaded Helical Threaded Insert Prong Break-Off Tools.
    Cleanly snap prongs off installed helical inserts with just one hand. Because they work faster than standard prong break-off tools, these are a good choice when you have many prongs to remove. Press your tool into an insert to trigger the spring-loaded punch and snap off the prong.
    For Standard-Length Inserts—Use these tools for inserts that are 1 to 2 times as long as the diameter.
    For Long Inserts—Use these tools for inserts that are 2 1/2 to 3 times as long as the diameter.

    Get the force needed to break off keys and drive them into material. These drivers are the last step to install key-locking inserts. Slide them over the keys and strike the back with a hammer. Their heft makes the blow from your hammer count—no wasted effort. They fit key-locking inserts that meet NAS1394 and NAS1395.

    Key-Locking Threaded Insert Broaching Tools

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Insert Installation Tools. Key-Locking Threaded Insert Broaching Tools.
    Give the keys on your key-locking insert a head start in hard materials such as A286 stainless steel. Similar to a pilot hole for a screw, these tools punch a notch in the surface so keys have an entry point into your material. They’re useful for locking threaded inserts into material that’s harder than the insert. The blades are uncoated, which you can replace when they wear out.
    To use, screw the insert to the desired depth and mark the key locations. Remove the insert, align the tool with the marks, and strike it with a hammer to punch the slots.
    Coated Installation Tool Blades—Coated blades make up to three times as many cuts as uncoated blades before wearing out.

    Install helical inserts and break off prongs with one tool and a hammer strike. These tools have a slot that grips your insert’s prong for turning both left- and right-hand threads. Slide an insert onto these tools and drive them a quarter-turn to half-turn below the material’s surface. Then, strike the end of the tool with a hammer to break off the prong. These tools work with pronged helical inserts.
