Tusk Thread Repair Kit

Any time you have to use a thread repair kit, it's probably not a good day. For me, the threads stripped on my inner case for one of the three oil filter cover bolts. By being careful and precise, I was able to install the new threads into the case.

While the threads don't feel as "tight" anymore, I've had no issue over the course of five years and countless oil changes on my machine. If done correctly, this kit can save you a lot of headaches.

Works as designed and saved me a ton of money not having to take the bike to a shop to have them do the fix.

Follow the instructions and you are good to go. Easy enough even I could do it!!

I can't tell you enough how easy it is to use this tool. This tool is amazing!

for when your previous owner is a retard and strips out the holes for the oil filter cover

This a easy way to fix a stripped bolt. Easy to use and is quality product.

Used this to replace pulled threads in my swingarm..... Was simple and easy to use and so far is holding up great

Cheep materials. The drill bit dulled out and the tap broke like a candycain. Don’t recommend it.

It does it’s intended job well. Hopefully you won’t need to use it but nice to have on hand if you need to. My only complaint is the instillation tool could be of a little better quality. As always take your time when repairing threads. Quality threads,welds and bolts are all that hold are bikes together!

Have not used yet but am sure it works as well as the other kits that are twice the price. Will come in handy someday when it is desperately needed.

used this awesome product to fix some striped out recepticles on my case and fork leg caps. Comes with all you need to make those stripped or cross threaded bolt holes like new again! A great solution to fixing an expensive part.

I had to do a re thread on my transmission case and this was awesome! It did the job and I was able to get the job done quick. It’s a great kit and very useful.

I'm pretty sure it only works with the Helicoil insert but it's sufficient enough.

Great product to fix those stripped holes! Priceless when you need it! Easy to use and works well.

Used this kit to repair one of my oil drain plugs. It would drip oil slowly over time because the threads were stripped. I used this kit to repair it, haven't had any issues since. It has held up great over time and definitely a quick fix to my problem. Would highly recommend!

Has everything you need in the kit to repair a stripped thread hole. Great to keep in the tool box.

wow, just follow the directions. very easy to use. bought a tap handle from the local hardware store. used WD40 as a "cutting oil". no worries

Good little tool..easy to use, Good quality allows you to save some money by fixing your broken threads

Having this in your toolbox will save your behind more times than you will recall. Especially when you work on bikes several people have put their hands on they inevitably have stripped threads.

Air craft mechanics Heli coil everything! So when I bought a bike with stripped engine case bolt holes I chose to drive them out and use this kit. Worked perfectly.

I bought this kit because all the other ones were at a higher price . I used it to fix a stripped threads on my sons 2006 Honda CRF 250x water pump bolt. The kit came with everything no need to buy a extra special drill bit . The kit worked great fixed the issue in about 10 min. If you don't have one of these kits you should buy one because at some point you will strip the threads on your bike .

kit was perfect for fixing stripped holes in my aluminum subframe. and at less than half the price of a comparable helicoil kit. the only way this kit could be better is if it came with a tap handle, and a tube of loc-tite. (perfectly understandable to omit tools every decent mechanic should have, any way to keep the price down, but I didn't have my handle and had to power tap the hole *Scary!*)

Great kit to repair stripped aluminum threads. Every thing you need (except a drill) is included. It takes a steady hand and a small leap of faith to start drilling into aluminum cases. Just line it up straight and you'll be fine. When installing inserts that don't go the way through (like cases), just use a blast of compressed air and the loose tang blows right back out.

I have a few bikes acquired from folks who didn't evidently didn't own torque wrenches, I bought this to take care of the bolts that kept on turning. It fixed the leaky side, oil filter and oil pump covers quickly, safely, and (so far) permanently.

This works great and is half the price of most other helicoil kits

Worked great. Great tool to have on hand.

Excellent product! I have been using these kits for years to repair stripped out threads on small scooter carbs. They are easy to use and work perfectly. Highly recommended!

I used this to fix a stripped clutch cover bolt on my KTM 250 EXC 2 stroke and it was a very simple and easy fix. I looked at other kits for 4X the price but the Tusk kit was perfect.

-m-2004 KTM 250 EXC--

Works just as well as heli-coils but at a much better price. Highly recommend

Great. Good price. Came with all necessary parts. Easy to install. Worked great. Used it to hold seat bolts on. Tested on track. All good

I bought two sizes just to have them. But I mainly bought them because I stripped the metal insert on my gas tank and couldn't keep a bolt in the shroud. After using this kit it fixed my problem and the threads are actually much stronger now with the insert than with the original stock threads.

I've ran old used bikes for many years because they just don't make um like they used to. so being the head mechanic at my house I've have learned to use thread replacement tools and the tusk brand is my favorite because it performs Just as good for a lot less money then the most well known brand on the market which will leave you extra money to buy some new ridding gear

It is just a matter of time before you pull the threads on some aluminum component on your bike, no matter how careful you are. These kits work very well and are priced right. End result is actually much stronger than original thread. Saved me a few times over the past few years.

I purchased this to fix the one thread on my KTM that holds the seat down... It worked perfectly, first time ever trying something like this. I did not have the threading handle thing they show in the video, so i used a drill, and locked the drill and turned it manually....... Just an idea for all you guys out there wondering what to do if you dont have threading handle.

This is a TOOL you need in your box. DON'T WAIT until you bust something up and are looking in a panic for a fix! Get the common sizes, learn how to use them and keep them on hand!

Drama free install, pretty good deal

I looked everywhere for a helicoil kit that wasn't off-the-charts expensive. Then I had the sense to look for it at RMATV. Of course they have it and it's inexpensive. Problem solved.

I needed to repair head on my generator for valve cover. The repair was very easy to do, so I did the other three on that head. Since the repair is much stronger than the aluminum head, I will do the other head so I won't have to do under a emergency.

Very useful, came with everything I needed. Thanks RM!

Worked great for half the price of other brands!

good kit, cheap price

Great kit, everything you need to repair a stripped thread.

Worked great and repaired the threads I needed. I didnt realize before that taps require their own special drill bit size so buying it as a kit is the way to go.

This is a nice kit for the price and a great value. Used it to stud the crash bar mount on my KTM 990 - it was easy to do and is holding up fine. Beats spending big bucks for a new mount.

Works really easy and will pay for its self with one repair. Hey you don't even need to waste gas taking your part/vehicle to the shop to get it fixed.

One problem I do encounter is that in material that is thinner than the insert, you have to mess around and try and trim the coil on the back side, which can be tricky. If you screw up trimming the back side,you can often work the coil out by trying to grab the bit of coil on the back of the work piece with a set of small side cutters, or suitable tool, and pull hard and slow, the coil will unravel and if you do this carefully, you likely will not ruin the threads you cut that hold the insert in, even in aluminum.

seems to work as good as heli coil

Worked good for my repair.

Well, when you screw some threads up you have to fix them. Product works great.

Stripped out a couple side cover bolts on my KDX and KTM. Instead of spending 2x as much on a different 5mm helicoil set, I purchased this. Worked great.

Great kit and has everything I needed to replace a striped out tank bolt on my KTM.

Time and money saver.
