Unlike coil inserts, which require a special drill,
tap, and installation tool, E-Z LOK threaded inserts for metal
are installed using standard tools. Simply drill the appropriately
sized hole with a standard drill…tap the hole with a standard tap…and
then turn in the E-Z LOK like an ordinary fastener with a screwdriver,
bolt and jam nut, or an E-Z LOK drive tool. Installation is as
easy as 1-2-3.

E-Z LOK inserts are self-locking. Immediately
upon installation, pre-applied Loctite on the external threads
begins to set and the newly installed insert is fastener ready
in minutes. At full cure (72 hours), the Loctite seals against
liquids and gases to pressures of 6,000 psi.
Easy Removal: E-Z LOK threaded inserts can be removed with a
bolt extractor or by heating the inserts to over 300*F.
