Heli-coil 18551-02-2 Replacement Blade 2-56 Unc Thread Tool

Product Description

The HELI-COIL 18551-02-2 is a replacement blade designed for use with HELI-COIL power installation tools for threaded insert installation. This blade is sized for 2-56 UNC thread inserts and provides the driving interface between the power tool and the insert during installation. When the original blade wears or breaks, this replacement restores the tool to full function without requiring a complete tool replacement. It is compatible with both bulk inserts and strip feed inserts, giving technicians flexibility across different insert loading formats. This part is handled by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working with small-fastener thread repair or original thread installation applications.

This replacement blade is suited for production, repair, and maintenance environments where 2-56 UNC threaded inserts are installed using powered tooling. It is appropriate for use in aerospace, electronics assembly, automotive, and general industrial settings where fine-thread insert installation is performed at volume. The blade is a wear consumable and is typically stocked alongside insert inventory to minimize downtime during high-cycle operations.
