New thread repair kit for the UK automotive aftermarket
1 min read
The Pro XL Series, which replaces both the previous Pro Series and standard range of Recoil thread repair kits, now contains a combined tap wrench and installation tool, with the tap holder set in its handle, a drill, magnetic tang break-off tool and up to 15 inserts, depending on the version.
Contained in a box with a transparent lid, the magnetic tool enables blind-hole tang removal, ensuring none are left in the application after installation, whilst a pivotal tool holder provides users easy access to and neat storage of the kit's components. Its HSS taps are suitable for use on aluminium, magnesium, cast iron and most machine-able steels.
Recoil thread repair kits are predominately used to repair damaged threads in a variety of automotive applications such as wheel bolts, spark plugs, brake callipers, oil sump and drain plugs; as well as a number of electronics, power generation and other general industrial applications. The Pro XL kit can also be used to create strong new threads in small volume manufacture.
Jay Sahadew, marketing manager at manufacturer AFS, said: "Recoil is an established and well respected brand that provide quality solutions. This new kit is easier to use with all of the components contained in one easy-to-store, ergonomic and robust box but at the same price as the previous version."
Information and video demonstrations of the thread repair kit are available to view at the company's website: www.afsrecoil.net
