Not so sure... the Mini kit (M6X1, M8X1.25 and M10X1.25 thread repair kits), which is nowhere near as luxurious as the one showed in the movie, is 300€. think

You can get three Helicoil kits for the same sizes and still have 80€ left.
Perhaps this kit is better than Helicoil but is so much better as to justify the considerable price difference? Opinions?

Looks nice a slightly better variant of a helicoil but as K says I can't see it justifying the extra expense unless your working on expensive race cars or in the aero industry with laters rules and regulations possibly prohibiting the repair of threads.

What would me up with the video, is at each stage of the demo, they swapped to using a different hole in the aluminium like maybe they fecked up a few times while making the video - a bit suss? RollEyes

Helicoil is actually certified for use by some aircraft manufacturers... so even that point is taken away. Neutral

I just seemed a lot too fiddly to me, as if someone had to go a long way to avoid patents or something. I'm not convinced, and helicoil has always been more than adequate for what I want. Except breaking that little stub off is a knack which I only remember after getting the first one wrong. And having to rip it out and re-insert a new one.
