When the previous owner of my R1200GS swapped the drain and fill plugs on my final drive, the result was two destroyed sets of threads. So the choice was a $2100 final drive, a Helicoil, or the Time-sert.Since the Time-sert had no risk of a metal tab getting loose in the final drive, and the inserts are hardened vs wire, decided it was worth the extra money (5x more money….) to get it.Man, am I glad I did! The quality of the tooling was absolutely exceptional. We used a hand driver to drill the hole (very tight tolerances to the internal gears) and went very slow (20-30 minutes) on the first one. Went in flawlessly! The insertion tool rolled the bottom threads, and the counter bore really assured a clean set. The second one went faster (10-15 minutes) since we knew what we were doing and it was flawless.Can’t tell you how impressed I am with Time-sert. Never going back to a cheap wire coil!

I recently found myself in quite bad situation when the threads on my motorcycle’s oil pan were stripped. I knew I needed a reliable and effective solution to get back on the road.The kit arrived promptly and included everything I needed to repair the stripped threads. The detailed instructions made the process a breeze.

For use cases where you plan on using the threaded area a lot (eg oil drain plug, or other commonly accessed threaded hole) I think time-serts take the cake. Other products like Heli-coils are great for certain uses, but when you need bulletproof reliability I prefer time-serts. The kit is great, the tap, bit, counter-sink tool, etc., are great and I’ve used them more than once without issue.I’ve had two time-serts holding my flywheel on my track car for over 8 years now with no issues. Just added another to my oil pan’s drain plug. No issues, very easy to install.

I used my Time Insert for an oil pan on my motorcycle, the oil drain became stripped. The time inter was easy to used and install. It works great
