Thread inserts are often exposed to high loads. They have to withstand high forces, vibrations and, depending on the place of use, the elements.
Over time, the mechanical properties of your helicoil inserts can come under strain. So it's time to change them!
At Gardette, we know exactly how to repair your helicoils and thus contribute to increasing the lifespan of your assemblies.
That's why we've developed our range of thread repair kits by diameter. In our kits, you'll find specific helicoils designed for thread repair for every conceivable application, plus in these helicoil kits, we provide you with a wide range of tools and accessories for repairing your threads.
All our thread repair kits are classified by diameter and sold with tools and accessories adapted to the diameter.
Repair kits by insert thread diameter - Free Running
Classic helicoil thread inserts are compatible with UNC, UNF, BSW, BSF G (BSP), BA and NPT threads.
Single-height kits and three-height kits available.
Thread insert repair kits - Screw Grip
The threaded insert screw grip offers superior resistance to shock, vibration and movement. Its red color distinguishes it from the others. We recommend its use only where high resistance is required.

In a single pass, the hole is enlarged by the nose and the thread is cut with an allowance. The thread insert kits for spark plugs by diameter are available in four lengths:
Repair kits by insert thread diameter - Drain screws
