Please note

Wire thread inserts cannot be measured in their free state as they expand upon installation. Once correctly installed, these inserts will have a fitted length of 0.25" less the ½ pitch allowance needed to ensure the insert’s effectiveness.

The only way to measure an insert before installing it is to count how many coils it has. A 1/4BSFx1D insert should have between 4.3 - 4.8 coils.
