Darren, I am unsure what a buddy of mine uses but they are far superior to a helicoil. I thought helicoil was the greatest until I just saw these the other day. What you have to do is drill out the hole to the specified size and retap the hole to fit this insert that is the same bolt size you had before. Put your old bolt in it with a jam nut to tighten in the insert. Once it is in place you take a drift punch and a hammer and drive in 4 small stakes that are made on the insert. My buddy showed me several different jobs he has used them and they all are doing well. The only drawback I can see is if you don't have enough room or the cost of them. He has boxes of all different sizes and said the one he was using was @$6.00 each for @7/16 inside and 1/2 outside. They are similar to these at WWW.ezlock.com Good Luck, Kent
