Description
Overview:
The Volkel 8 mm Thread Repair Kit is a compact set for restoring damaged or worn M8 threads in metal components. It is built around a precision ground tap and a matching metal twist drill for preparing the hole, plus 10 metal wire inserts that reinstate a durable internal thread. The inserts create a strong, wear‐resistant thread path that often outlasts the original, especially in softer alloys such as aluminium and magnesium. Suitable for general engineering, automotive repair, plant maintenance, and garden machinery servicing, it helps recover threads in casings, housings, brackets, and engine or gearbox components. Ideal for workshops and mobile repair, the kit supports reliable, repeatable results on parts from tools and machines found across construction, agricultural, and grounds care equipment.
Key Features:

- Includes matched tap, drill, and 10 inserts for a complete repair workflow

- Compatible with typical M8 bolts used across plant, automotive, and garden machinery
Typical Applications:
Ideal for repairing stripped or cross‐threaded M8 holes in engine covers, sump and gearbox casings, brake and clutch brackets, exhaust fixings, pump bodies, and equipment frames. Common in workshop rebuilds, onsite plant maintenance, vehicle servicing, and the refurbishment of lawnmowers, generators, pressure washers, and compact construction tools. Suitable for preventative reinforcement of high‐stress threaded locations in softer metals.
