Power Insert Tools
Recoil® / Helicoil® Insert Power & Hand Tools
Kato® / Recoil® insert power and hand tools are available in UNC & UNF sizes #2 - 1/2" and up to 12mm, for the rapid installation of inserts. Power tools consist of a front end assembly, an adapter, and a reversible air motor. All three components are ordered separately. A front end assembly consists of a prewinder, mandrel, and spacers.
The various designs of KATO® installation tools are shown in the resource center corresponding to the active insert. Generally, finer pitch inserts are proportionately larger in the free state than the coarse pitch inserts and thus have to be "pre-wound" to a smaller diameter for installation. Large coarse pitch inserts (and 2-56 and 3-48 inserts) need only a threaded mandrel tool for installation.
