Heli-coil 18551-06-2 Replacement Blade 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The HELI-COIL 18551-06-2 is a replacement blade designed for use with HELI-COIL power installation tools. It is sized for 6-32 UNC threads and serves as a wear-replacement component in production or field environments where threaded insert installation volume is high. When the original blade on a power tool wears or breaks, this part restores the tool to working condition without requiring full tool replacement. Licensed HELI-COIL technicians, MRO mechanics, and assembly professionals are the typical end users. The blade is compatible with both bulk inserts and strip feed inserts, making it applicable across a range of installation workflows.

This replacement blade fits power installation tooling used to drive helical wire thread inserts into prepared holes. It is used in applications where 6-32 UNC threaded inserts are installed into aluminum, magnesium, plastics, or other materials requiring thread reinforcement. Typical environments include aerospace assembly, automotive manufacturing, general metalworking, and maintenance operations where thread insert installation is a recurring task.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement should be performed by a qualified mechanic or assembly technician familiar with HELI-COIL power tooling. De-energize and disconnect the power tool from its power source before removing the worn blade. Follow the tool manufacturer service instructions for blade removal and seating sequence to avoid damage to the drive mechanism. Do not operate the tool with a loose or improperly seated blade.
