Simple, easy-to-use 1/4 UNF hand tool with a slotted driving mandrel and adjustable depth stop collar that helps ensure inserts are installed correctly.
For use with free running inserts only.
Method of use:
- Place the insert onto the mandrel, locating the insert's driving tang in the slot.
- With the tang at the open end of the tool, adjust the collar to fit at the end of the insert. Adjusting the collar will help to prevent cross-threading of inserts during installation.
- If using fine pitch wire thread inserts, you will need to compress the free coils.
- Present the tool with the insert squarely over the tapped hole.
- Wind the insert clockwise into the hole whilst applying only a very light axial pressure. Avoid using downward pressure during installation as this may cause the insert to jump threads.
- Continue winding until the insert is positioned approximately 1/4 to 1/2 a pitch below the surface.
- Withdraw the tool.
NOTE: Some adjustment of the collar may be required until satisfactory positioning in the tapped hole is achieved consistently.
