Best Damaged Thread Repair? Let’s Settle This! Heli Coil, TIME-SERT, E-Z LOK, JB Weld, HHIP, Loctite
Summary
The video compares seven different thread repair products through a series of tests for maximum tightening strength, using a standardized 1/2 inch threaded aluminum baseline. Various methods like the Heli Coil, TIME-SERT, E-Z LOK, and JB Weld were put head-to-head in reactive tests to determine which provided the most substantial repair based on tensile strength tests.
