Helicoil® is a brand trusted all over the world in every industry, particularly the aerospace industry, where quality is way more important than cost.
The Eco-Kit, as it's name would suggest is a thread repair kit made for those with a smaller budget. The inserts, drills and taps are of the same high standard as all other Helicoil® kits, with top grade HSS taps supplied. The higher grade kit is different because it has a pre-wind insert tool, which is undeniably better, but the Eco-Kit is still made from the very highest quality materials and most manufacturing is done in Hull (Yes in Britain !) and that which isn't, takes place in Germany.
Repairing a thread with Helicoil® kits is pretty easy: Open up the damaged thread with the supplied drill bit, ensuring that you keep the drill straight, tap the hole using the supplied tap, install the insert with the insertion tool and then break the tang out with the provided tool. If the tang is not removed you will destroy the threaded hole when the bolt is put in. The bolt will drag the coil to the bottom of the hole where it will jam solid. We had a head that had been near destroyed by someone making this mistake a few months ago!
Although Helicoils® are seen as a repair, which they are, they are also an upgrade, especially in aluminium or magnesium alloy castings. When steel and stainless steel bolts are put in and removed numerous times, particularly in heads on bikes with under bucket shims, the threads in the alloy wear and ultimately strip. When a Helicoil® is fitted the thread has a high grade stainless steel bearing surface which is far more durable than the original and grips the bolts or stud far better.
Each kit comes with a drill, tap, insertion tool, tang removal tool and ten inserts. The M12 kits do not include a drill and a 12.4mm drill will be required.

Let customers speak for us
item easy to use, good quality.
Perfect for tidying up my 1973 Yamaha trail bikes wiring
Used this for bleeding ABS unit BMW K1200s 2005. You can do some basic bleeding by just topping up the 4 reservoirs as you bleed, but you need to get quite a volume of brake fluid going through the ABS systems before all pockets of air are flushed through. The funnel end screwed in ok but didn't seat well and all the fluid leaked out initially. Problem resolved using lots of PTFE tape tightly wound round the rubber ring section that is supposed to act as a seal. This worked very well. I give 5 stars as I would say it is impossible to bleed all the complicated ABS /SERVO unit without this tool and it worked well in the end. Advise not putting too much fluid in initially when testing the seal, as if it leaks all contents will descend onto the ABS unit, then to the floor.
Ordered this for shipping to Australia & was happy with the time it took to arrive (albeit shipping from the UK to AU is expensive). The tool itself is good quality & works well.
Only used the set a couple of times so far but it appears to be good quality and the low profile feature has already been useful. The offer price made it excellent value for money
A good quality, easy to use crimp tool.
It looks a bit flaky but actually works really well, I had no trouble reassembling my 1951 Douglas.
Using for rewiring 1968 Triumph. Good upgrade from original.
Fuel hose was good quality. However I didn’t realise they were package and not cut from a reel. I ordered 2 meters thinking it would be one continuous length but instead got 2 packets with 1 meter in each.
A whole in one brake bleed kit making life easier, used and it works, I know, surprised most don’t, but this kit actually does work and at a great price, recommend shop at the biketoolbox, this is one a many many great tools. Thanks.
Ordered a special tool, was described correctly and dispatch very fast very easy to do with NO issues would highly recommend 👌
Nice piece of kit . Well made . Good price . Always buy from BT
Fantastic... does exactly what it says and I put it on even when I'm not working on the bike just incase I drop anything when near the bike... strong and durable, covers the whole tank, Kawasaki z900rs... highly recommended.... should have got one years ago.
