Avk AA112 Manual Threaded Insert Tool 4-40

Product Description

The AVK AA112 is a manual threaded insert installation tool designed for 4-40 thread size inserts. It allows technicians and assemblers to install threaded inserts by hand without the need for powered equipment. The tool is compatible with the A-T and A-W insert series from AVK, making it a purpose-built instrument for controlled, torque-managed insert installation in metal, composite, or sheet material applications. At 0.6 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended bench or field use. This tool is typically used by assembly technicians, maintenance professionals, and tradespeople who require reliable thread creation in thin-wall or blind-hole workpieces.

The AA112 is suited for both production and repair environments where 4-40 threaded inserts from the A-T and A-W series need to be installed precisely and consistently. Manual operation gives the installer direct tactile feedback during the installation process, reducing the risk of over-driving or damaging the insert or parent material. It is well-suited for light industrial assembly, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work where power tools may not be available or practical.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with threaded insert tooling and the parent material being worked. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured before beginning insert installation. Follow AVK insert series guidelines for correct hole preparation and insert seating depth. Do not exceed the manual torque range appropriate for the insert size to avoid stripping or damaging the installed insert.
