    Pronged

    Install and remove screws repeatedly without sticking or binding. These inserts have a dry-film lubricant on their surface for smooth installation. They're ideal for parts that require frequent disassembly for inspection or repair. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.
    Dry-Film-Lubricated 18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.
