VCOIL Inserting Tool - Tang Break - No.5
Learn more about Klarna
Description
The VCOIL Tang Break Tool No.5 is a dedicated accessory for clean tang removal on thread inserts. Designed for professionals and hobbyists alike, it streamlines the final prep step so inserts are ready for installation and reliable operation. Compatible with inserts starting from M13 and larger, it delivers a tidy, burr-free finish every time.
- Two removal methods for flexibility: For inserts starting from M13 and up, use Long Nose Pliers to carefully extract the tang, or press the tang break tool through the insert to snap the tang at the predetermined breaking point. This gives you a method that fits your workspace and the part you're working on.
- Precise tang break at a predetermined point: The tang break function creates a clean, burr-free break, leaving the insert ready for use without additional deburring or cleaning. This reduces the risk of tang fragments entering the threaded hole.
- Ready-to-use inserts with minimal downtime: After tang removal, the thread insert is clean and secure, helping you maintain fast, reliable assembly and consistent performance across parts. Using the tool helps you complete tang removal quickly and reliably, so every insert seats properly and performs as intended.
With the VCOIL Tang Break Tool No.5 in your toolkit, tang removal becomes fast, predictable, and repeatable. It reduces handling time, minimizes rework, and supports consistent results across production runs or DIY projects, giving you confidence that every insert will install cleanly and perform as designed.
