Install Keensert®-style inserts.
Screw inserts into tapped holes by hand and place the tip of these tools into the insert. Strike the tools with a hammer to drive the keys into the material.
Tools that feature a spring have a knurled grip on that lets you screw inserts into tapped holes, reducing hand fatigue if you’re installing many of them. To fit over inserts evenly, tools have an inner plug and outer ring that align with keys. Strike tools with a hammer to drive keys. The spring along the shaft returns the striking end to its original position to generate more force.
Choose tools that match your insert’s thread size and tap thread size.

Key-Locking Inserts with Installation Tool

Drive the keys into the surrounding material for a more secure hold than thread-locking inserts. These inserts are used to repair or convert threads in soft metals such as aluminum. They’re comparable to Keensert® inserts.
18-8 stainless steel inserts are more corrosion resistant than black-phosphate steel. They may be mildly magnetic.
Black-phosphate steel inserts are mildly corrosion resistant.
Inserts with a thin wall are often used in small holes or near the edge of a workpiece.
Choose inserts with a thick wall for greater strength than thin-wall inserts, or to fill a large hole.
Inserts with an extra thick wall are stronger than thick- and thin-wall inserts. Use them to reduce the size of tapped holes.

Key-Locking Insert Assortments with Installation Tool
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/902/90284a411p1-b01-digital@halfx_636849336730871120.png?ver=imagenotfound)
These assortments include various sizes of key-locking inserts with thick and thin walls, and an installation tool. Drive the keys into the surrounding material for a more secure hold than thread-locking inserts. Use them to repair or convert threads in soft metals such as aluminum. They’re comparable to Keensert® inserts.
18-8 stainless steel inserts are more corrosion resistant than black-phosphate steel. They may be mildly magnetic.
Black-phosphate steel inserts are mildly corrosion resistant.
Thin-wall inserts are often used in small holes or near the edge of a workpiece.
Choose assortments with thick-wall inserts for greater strength than thin-wall inserts, or to fill a large hole.
