E-z Lok 500-2 Thread Insert Installation Tool 10-24 10-32

Product Description

The E-Z LOK 500-2 is a hand installation tool designed for setting threaded inserts into pre-tapped or pre-drilled holes. Made from steel, this insert tool drives threaded inserts by hand without the need for a power driver, making it a reliable option for controlled, precision installation in the field or at a workbench. It is compatible with 10-24 UNC, 10-32 UNF, and M5 x 0.8 thread sizes, covering a common range of fastener applications across light fabrication, maintenance, and repair work. Technicians and tradespeople use this tool wherever threaded inserts must be installed accurately and without damage to the surrounding material.

This tool is suited for residential and light commercial applications where threaded inserts are used to repair stripped threads or create durable fastening points in metal, plastic, or composite materials. It is appropriate for use in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, equipment frames, and general mechanical assemblies. The hand-driven design gives the installer direct control over seating depth and torque, reducing the risk of over-driving or cross-threading the insert during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand and does not require power tools. Ensure the receiving hole is properly sized and prepared before driving the insert. Apply steady, even pressure to seat the insert flush and avoid cross-threading. Follow the insert and base material manufacturer guidelines for hole preparation and seating depth.
