TIME-SERT vs Helicoil – Which is Better?

When comparing TIME-SERT® and Helicoil thread repair systems, the difference lies in strength and durability. TIME-SERT® inserts feature a solid bushing design rather than a wire coil, ensuring superior thread engagement and a stronger hold. As a result, they resist vibration, torque, and wear more effectively. Furthermore, their flanged collar prevents insert movement or pull-out during use—something coil-type systems cannot guarantee. Therefore, for critical applications such as oil drain plugs or aluminum housings, TIME-SERT® offers a permanent, professional-grade solution where Helicoil repairs may fall short.

Application and Instructions

First, drill the damaged hole using the supplied drill bit. Next, use the counterbore tool to create a seat for the insert flange. Then, tap the new threads using the supplied tap. Finally, apply driver oil and install the insert with the insertion tool until it locks in place. The result is a flush, secure, and permanent thread repair.
