I bought the M6-1.0 because I knew I had stripped two bolts on my water pump on my 2009 Forester. When it came time to replace it I bought this and a torque wrench, worked perfectly. It was also used on the valve cover bolts as the lower 6 get very rusty; I removed 2 bolts easily, 2 bolts with a nut extractor, and 2 bolts had to be drilled out and the threads repaired with this kit. 6 new bolts (upper 6 bolts are fine to reuse) and holds very strongly. I used with blue loctite; waited for the loctite to dry in the helicoils before installing the actual bolts.

This helix core kit worked well for my needs.

Needed to fix M10 x 1.5 threads in a cast iron exhaust manifold. Three holes, each about 1/2" deep. Using lots of tapping lubricant, started the tap into the first hole. It was surprisingly hard to turn (normally cast iron threads like butter). Got about halfway into the hole and it got so hard to turn it was clear the tap would break. Ground a new taper on the tap (to get to new threads) and it went a few more turns. Repeated the grinding and eventually coaxed it to finish one hole.Just out of curiosity, I bought a second identical kit, hoping I just got a bad tap. HA! Second kit was worse. Two turns of the tap and it gave up....would not go any farther.So I ordered up a tap from McMaster-Carr. Ah, what a difference. Now I could turn the tap with one hand. Sailed through two holes without slowing down in the slightest.The inserts and the insertion tool in this kit worked fine.The tap does appear to be made of HSS as claimed. I think it just isn't made right, probably not sharpened properly.I note that most of the positive reviews mention "aluminum". This kit might be OK in a softer metal.

The set is suppose to be 15 pieces, right now I have 10 pieces of helicoil and no tool.
