    Install key-locking inserts in a flash. Instead of threading and hammering inserts in by hand, these air-powered tools do both steps with the pull of a trigger. Release the trigger and the tool automatically resets, ready for the next insert. They’re compatible with Keensert inserts.

    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.
