To be fair, many years ago, I used to repair diamond concrete cutting and core-drilling equipment and the Milwaukee core-drills aluminium bodies were fitted with helicoils as OEM standard for mounting the drills onto the rigs, these drills used core-bits up to 24" diameter... and I never saw helicoil failures....also, the beauty of them is they work in situations where you don't HAVE the "meat" around the hole to use Keenserts... 😎👍☘️🍻
Hey, do you have a name or a part number for those particular threaded inserts with the little tabs that you hammer in - I cannot seem to find them. - or a link where I can buy them
Would it work on a cast aluminum oil pan drain hole or am I better off using a time sert in that situation? Seems it night leak with the pins on the side if with a bunch of lock tite.
Thank you for the video, great job. I really like your install tool and I ended up making four for common sizes for the shop. I also use a chamfer bit to help the tapping process.
I've never had to buy a special size tap for Helicoils. I always have the size in my set. 🤷 I guess it helps to have a drill bit set that goes up by 64ths.
Does thread insert applicable on high temperature equipment? Because basically it expands (if made of stainless) when heated and may cause to break the holes.
the inserts are available in steel and stainless. not gonna say that's impossible for it to happen but id think that if there is enough tolerance to thread in by hand that its not tight enough to lock on expansion. but that's just my opinion. good thought though!
There is no removing them. It's a permanent repair. 99% of the time, the bolt will break before you can remove a helicoil. The only way to get a helicoil out of a hole that's been repaired is by drilling it out with a carbide bit. It could possibly even take a carbide insert tool in a milling machine.

Thank you for introducing me to this. I've got to repair an engine block's engine mount holes.
I didn't catch the brand name for these inserts. What are they called?
no real name brand. these were purchased from McMastrer Carr. they are called key locking threaded inserts. many options on google

i agree sounds like it may be prone to leaking.

As always a good video. Any reason not to put loctite on the insert?
the tabs lock it in place and prevent it from rotating. not gonna hurt if you chose to use Loctite though.

great video! would you mind explaining what that machine does? almost looks like a lawn mower, haha
its a vibratory plate compactor. compacts crushed stone, dirt, sand etc to prep for concrete, asphalt, patio pavers etc.
