Keenserts Thread Repair Insert, M5 x 0.8, Drill Size 5.5mm

The range of KEENSERTS® installation tools ensure quick, easy and secure installation of each insert. Each tool has notches where the protruding insert keys fit to enable effective winding in of the insert. Once the insert is fully wound in, the tool can be pulled back and turned 45 degrees, so the keys are situated between the notches, and driven down through the threads of the parent material, mechanically locking it into place.

Drilling and tapping can be done without any specialist equipment, just standard drills and taps.
