Permatex 81668 Stripped Thread Repair Kit Review

I stripped some threads on a mountain bike bottle cage boss. Instead of drilling it out and rethreading it I tried to use this to fix it. While this worked out I really do not feel like it did exactly what I wanted it to do. The bottle cage has been secure and has not come loose in over 6 months of riding on rough trails, but I think I could have achieved the same result by gluing the screw into the boss.
Bottom line: it works, but it's probably not the best solution.

After breaking off the spark plug on my motorcycle leaving only the threaded part I started researching how to fix it. After removing the head and drilling out the old threads I tried to re-tap the threads to no avail so it was on to a new thread insert. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of a "coil" fix was shocked when I found out the price for the coil kits so I was very excited when I found the Save-A-Thread kit with solid sleeve inserts. It worked like a charm. I had the hole expanded, re-threaded and the insert in place in less than 20 minutes. At half the price or less than the other "coil" kits I'd found the Save-A-Thread kit is a life saver.
