The Recoil range of power tooling ensures consistent high volume thread insert installation for a variety of applications. Recoil powered installation tools may be supplied for use with either a compressed air supply or via a stabilised low voltage power supply to suit your particular requirements. Both equipment types offer significant productivity gains for high volume insert use.

Recoil taps differ from standard taps dimensionally and only Recoil Screw Thread Insert (STI) Taps are suitable for use with Recoil Wire Thread Inserts. Recoil taps are manufactured to precise standards from either High Speed Steel (HSS) or (HSS-E) with ground threads and are available with taper, intermediate and bottoming leads.

Broken Bolts, No Problem with Drill-Out Power Extractor. Drill-Out Power Extractor is the fast easy way to remove broken bolts and studs. All you need in Drill Out and a variable speed drill set in reverse. Start drilling the center of the bolt or stud. The unique design of Drill Out grabs onto the broken bolt or stud and uses the power of the drill to remove it.

There was a time when repairing a worn or stripped spark plug thread was a major job that needed specialist tools and a lot of time and experience. Recoil, Australia's leading thread insert manufacturer, has solved this time consuming problem with Plugsaver, the spark plug thread repair kit for taper seat and gasket plugs.

Fasteners are in use everywhere today. With of the most annoying and frustrating problems being the tool slipping when the fastener is deformed or extremely tight.
Re-Grip a friction-enhancing compound provides a simple and effective solution to overcome slipping between fasteners and the tool used to remove or tighten it. Proving especially useful when components have been deformed, damaged or seized.


Thread gauging is recommended wherever precision threads are required. The quality of the tapped hole which accommodates the insert, determines the finished size and hole quality after the insert has been installed. If the finished tapped hole gauges satisfactorily, the installed insert will be within the thread tolerance.

The ReTHRED™ (Nes® internal thread restorer) will repair female threads with only minor manual adjustments in each of these size ranges:
12MM to 16MM (1/2 to 5/8")
16MM to 20MM (11/16" to 13/16")
22MM to 32MM (7/8" to 1-1/4")
32MM to 54MM (1-1/4" to 2-1/8")
