It operates without pneumatic or electric power, making it a reliable hand tool for bench work and field installations where compressed air is unavailable. The AA170 is compatible with multiple AVK insert series, allowing a single tool to cover a range of 6-32 threaded insert applications. At 1.57 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use. Technicians in HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication trades commonly use plier insert tools when installing blind threaded fasteners in panel enclosures and equipment housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AA170 is suited for use in residential and commercial service environments where 6-32 threaded inserts must be installed in thin or inaccessible substrates. It is appropriate for panel work, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar assemblies requiring a reliable threaded anchor point without access to the back side of the material. The tool's manual operation makes it practical for low-volume installations and field repair situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual plier operation requires no pneumatic or electric power source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 6-32 threaded insert applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with AVK insert series A-K, A-L, A-H, A-P, and A-O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 1.57 pounds for extended hand use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-tool coverage across multiple compatible insert series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with AVK threaded insert series A-K, A-L, A-H, A-P, and A-O in 6-32 thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by hand using the plier mechanism to pull-set the threaded insert into the base material. Ensure the correct mandrel and nose piece are configured for the target insert series before beginning. Verify material thickness is within the grip range specified for the insert being installed. No power source is required, but proper alignment of the tool with the insert is essential to avoid cross-threading or incomplete setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Manual Plier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Insert Series\u003c\/strong\u003e: A-K, A-L, A-H, A-P, A-O\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.57 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AVK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AA170\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AMERICAN AVK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698277777714,"sku":"AA170","price":108.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a7aa6bd566b330e79d6cf9cfc1880288.jpg?v=1788360383","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/avk-aa170-manual-plier-threaded-insert-tool","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
