The Armstrong ArmaCoil Standard Installation Tool is a low cost prewinder tool designed
for basic thread repair as well as low volume production.
This tool comes with the Armstrong ArmaCoil Standard Thread Repair Kit and features a
threaded mandrel. When the mandrel is used together with the prewinder in the tool
body, incidents of cross threading during ArmaCoil insert installation are minimised.
A dedicated single size installation tool which supports the ArmaCoil insert in a
chamber ready for pre-winding through the nozzle. Pre-winding reduces the ArmaCoil
insert diameter to that of the tapped hole, ready for installation.
With the ArmaCoil insert wound flush with the end of the nozzle, the ArmaCoil
insert is ready for installation. Place the Armstrong ArmaCoil Prewinder Installation Tool
squarely over the tapped hole and wind the ArmaCoil into the component. Do not apply
any forward pressure during installation as this may cause the ArmaCoil insert to
‘cross pitch’.

The ArmaCoil T-Bar Inserting Tool is a threaded mandrel tool used for the installation
of RD (reduced diameter) ArmaCoil inserts without the need to pre-wind the ArmaCoil.
The added benefit offered with the threaded mandrel is that the ArmaCoil insert can be
installed without the fear of ‘cross pitching’, which is a common problem encountered
during installation of fine pitched ArmaCoil inserts.
The RD insert is manufactured slightly larger than the tapped hole. The nose radius on
the tang of the ArmaCoil insert allows the first coil to engage with the top of the tapped
hole, providing the additional pre-winding needed for installation of the ArmaCoil.
