Description

The VCOIL Inserting Tool - Tang Break - No.3 is a precision hand tool designed to simplify the tang removal step after installing threaded inserts. It’s ideal for technicians, machinists, maintenance professionals, and DIY enthusiasts who need a clean, reliable tang removal to finish every insert-ready part.

For inserts starting from M13 and larger, you have two straightforward options: use Long Nose Pliers to carefully extract the tang, or press the tang break tool through the insert to break the tang at a predetermined point. This approach helps ensure a smooth, burr-free finish with minimal effort.

  • Precise Tang Break at a Predetermined Point: Breaks the tang cleanly where designed, delivering burr-free removal and consistent results for each insert.
  • Flexible Removal Options for M13+ Inserts: For inserts from M13 and up, choose between careful tang extraction with Long Nose Pliers or a direct pass of the tang break tool through the insert for a clean break.
  • Durable, User-Friendly Design: Built for frequent workshop use with a robust tip and ergonomic grip that promotes control and reduces fatigue over long sessions.

Using the Tang Break No.3 after inserting a thread insert helps ensure a secure, ready-to-use component with minimal fuss. It supports faster workflows, reduces rework, and gives you consistent, professional results across materials and applications.
