Repaired a 10/32 stripped hole in aluminum just fine. Better now with a stainless insert.

Had to return it. Tap broke chasing threads in aluminum. Maybe I received a dud but I purchased a better set locally and didn't have any issues.

I read some reviews that indicated problems with the tap being defective due to either material and dimensional issues. I had no issues with the set I received. It worked great.

Easy to use, but have been machining for quite a few years. As long as careful and keep drill and tap straight should have no issues. Also remember to only go about half to maybe one full revolution with tap before reversing about a 1/4 turn to break cut threads. You dont want to just keep turning till it stops. Depending on material, you may also have to remove tap, blow out, and go a bit deeper and repeat. Take your time, be care6and should have no problems. Dont force the tap, especially small ones, they will break. Hope this may help others as well.

Had problems typical of helicoil bolts..i know, used to work with machinists on this issue. This kit got my problem fixed..but as with any helicoil thread insert, the hole you drill must be perfectly straight, and perfectly chased by the tap. When i tried to get the new bolts in my hole, they bound up. It is preferred to drill and tap the damaged holes using a drill press for best success making sure you have found the center and true path of the original damaged holes, same with the thread tap..a press is better..i had to manually drill and chase the threads by hand, resulting in a poor path for the insert to follow..resulting in uneven threads..dont expect " like new" condition when this repair is done with hand tools..but, it can be done with a steady hand and sharp eye..you only get one chance
