1. What does "V-COIL" stand for?
V-COIL is a well-known system for repairing and strengthening threads. It uses helical wire thread inserts made of high-strength stainless steel wire, which are screwed into a prepared thread to create a robust and wear-resistant internal thread.
2. Can I use this tool for other thread sizes?
No, this specific inserting tool is designed for the nominal size M45 x 3.0. For other thread sizes, you will need the corresponding V-COIL inserting tool.
3. Do I need a special tap to cut the receiving thread?
Yes, for the V-COIL system to function correctly, it is crucial to use a special V-COIL tap that creates the exact tolerances for the thread insert.
4. Can I use the tool without a cordless drill?
Yes, the 3/4" hex drive also allows for use with a suitable ring wrench, ratchet, or T-handle to manually screw in the thread insert.
5. What is the advantage of the hex drive?
The hex drive allows for high torque transmission and a secure hold in the drill chuck or a suitable wrench. This is especially important for large thread diameters such as M45.
