Each kit provides convenient storage and easy access to a variety of insert sizes, making them ideal for maintenance and thread repair use.
Each assortment kit contains a selection of inserts, instructions and proper installation tools. Kits for Thin Wall, and Heavy Duty threaded inserts are available, with either Coarse or Fine threads, in either carbon steel or stainless steel. Metric and inch versions are available.
