Description

The VCOIL Inserting Tool - Tang Break - No.8 is a purpose-built hand tool designed to streamline thread insert installation and simplify tang removal. Its compact, easy-to-hold form makes it suitable for technicians, machinists, buyers, tradespeople, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts who need reliable, clean insert installs across a range of projects.

  • Precise tang-break action: When the tang is driven through the insert, the tool creates a clean break at a predetermined point, reducing burrs and protecting the surrounding material for a tidy finished insert.
  • Dual tang-removal options: For inserts starting from M13 and up, you can use Long Nose Pliers to extract the tang, or rely on the tang-break tool as an alternative—delivering flexible, dependable workflow across sizes.
  • Ergonomic blue handle: The comfortable, non-slip grip provides steady control during insertion and tang removal, helping you work faster with less fatigue.

With the VCOIL Tang Break tool, you gain a reliable method to install thread inserts quickly while delivering consistent, burr-free results. The tool helps reduce downtime, simplifies retapping and cleanup, and supports dependable performance in both precise electronic assemblies and rugged mechanical applications.
