Permanently Repair and Strengthen Damaged Threads.
The Bordo PowerCoil UNC Thread Repair Kit is the industry-standard solution for salvaging stripped, worn, or damaged internal threads. Instead of scrapping expensive castings or components, PowerCoil allows you to quickly tap out the damaged thread and install a precision-engineered wire insert. The result is a renewed internal thread that matches the original fastener size while offering superior structural strength and wear resistance.
Manufactured from premium grade stainless steel, the diamond-profile wire inserts form an incredibly durable internal thread that resists corrosion, cross-threading, and thermal strip-out. It is an essential kit for automotive workshops, heavy machinery maintenance, precision engineering, and general metal fabrication.
Key Features
- Stronger Than Original: Precision stainless steel inserts distribute structural loads more evenly across the parent material, providing a higher load capacity than the original thread.
- Original Bolt Retention: Repairs the stripped thread back to its exact original specification, allowing you to reuse your original UNC high-tensile fasteners.
- Exceptional Durability: High-quality wire construction offers excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and high operating temperatures.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Minimizes costly industrial downtime and eliminates the need for expensive replacement parts or oversized custom studs.
Typical Kit Contents
Each workshop-ready kit is securely packed and typically contains the essential precision tooling required to complete a professional, long-lasting repair:
- Precision STI (Screw Thread Insert) Tap: Engineered to cut the perfect oversize thread path for the insert.
- High-Quality Stainless Steel Wire Inserts: Precision diamond-profile inserts to rebuild your internal threads.
- Installation Tool & Tang Break Tool: For smooth, controlled insert deployment and clean tang removal (included where applicable by size).
