Recoil Thread Repair Kits & Inserts

Recoil is Australia's leading brand for precision thread repair and thread insert solutions, trusted by maintenance engineers, mechanics and machinists across mining, manufacturing, defence and heavy industry. When a tapped thread is stripped, cross-threaded or damaged, a Recoil insert restores it to full original strength — often stronger than the parent material — without the need to replace the entire component. The Recoil system covers metric, UNC, UNF, BSP and BSW thread forms in 304 stainless steel inserts, with complete kits including the pre-wound inserts, installation tap, insertion tool and break-off tool ready to use straight from the box.

Recoil Thread Repair Kits — Metric, UNC, UNF & BSP

Each Recoil thread repair kit contains everything required to repair a single thread size: the correct size insert tap to cut the new thread, a pre-wound coil of 304 stainless steel inserts, the installation tool and break-off tool. Kits are available in all major thread forms to suit both metric and imperial fastener standards common in Australian plant, mining equipment, heavy vehicles and machinery. For sites requiring repair across a range of thread sizes, Recoil Range Kits bundle multiple sizes in a single case.

• Recoil Thread Repair Kit — UNC, 304 Stainless Steel: Unified coarse thread repair kit for UNC fastener standards common in North American and mining equipment
• Recoil Thread Repair Kit — UNF, 304 Stainless Steel: Unified fine thread kit for precision assemblies, hydraulics and applications where vibration resistance is critical
• Recoil Thread Repair Kit — BSP, 304 Stainless Steel: British Standard Pipe thread repair for hydraulic fittings, pneumatic connections and fluid system components
• Recoil RC35005R Range Kit — Metric M6–M16: Multi-size metric range kit covering M6 to M16; ideal for maintenance workshops dealing with a variety of metric thread sizes across plant and equipment

Recoil Inserts, Taps, Spark Plug Kits & Extraction Tools

For ongoing maintenance programmes, Recoil insert refill packs and individual component taps keep workshop stock replenished without buying complete kits. The Recoil spark plug kit range addresses one of the most common engine repair tasks — restoring stripped spark plug threads in aluminium cylinder heads without removing the head. The Keysert system provides a heavy-duty alternative to standard coil inserts where maximum thread strength is critical. The insert extraction tool handles the rare case where a previously installed insert needs to be removed.

• Recoil Insert — Metric, 304 Stainless Steel (Refill Pack): Bulk refill packs of metric stainless steel inserts for high-volume maintenance workshops; available across the full metric thread size range
• Recoil Metric Insert Tap — Bottoming: Bottoming tap for use in blind holes where full thread depth to the bottom of the hole is required; precision-ground for accurate thread preparation
• Recoil Metric Insert Tap — Intermediate: General-purpose intermediate tap for through holes and deeper blind holes in standard thread repair operations
• Recoil RC38148 Plug Saver Kit M14-1.25: Spark plug thread repair kit for M14-1.25 threads; repairs stripped spark plug holes in aluminium cylinder heads without head removal — a critical time-saving repair for workshop and field use
• Recoil Keysert Light — Metric Stainless Steel: Solid stainless steel keyed insert providing maximum thread strength; preferred over wire coil inserts in high-stress applications subject to heavy cyclic loading
• Recoil RC50003 Insert Extraction Tool M4–M24: Removal tool for extracting previously installed Recoil inserts from M4 to M24; essential for rework situations where insert removal is required
