    Prongless

    Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Prongless—Without a prong to break off and retrieve, these inserts save time and avoid leftover debris in holes.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.
