Vehicle repair/maintenance kit YATO YT-17635 — stainless steel, 30 pieces

YATO YT-17635 is a 30-piece vehicle repair and maintenance kit made from stainless steel, designed for restoring damaged or worn threads and for general automotive service operations. The kit provides corrosion-resistant components suitable for repeated workshop use and mobile repairs, and includes specialised tools for drilling, tapping and inserting thread repair elements in M12 x 1.75 mm applications.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction delivers improved corrosion resistance and dimensional stability compared with standard steel inserts. A compact 30-piece pack combines consumable repair elements with high-speed steel (HSS) drill and tap tools to enable on-site thread restoration. The kit is assembled to support efficient repair workflows and to reduce downtime when replacing stripped or damaged female threads.

Suitable for

• Restoring stripped or damaged M12 x 1.75 mm threads in engine and chassis components
• Workshop and mobile mechanic thread repair tasks
• Routine vehicle maintenance requiring corrosion-resistant repair parts
• Repair of components subject to vibrations and environmental exposure

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel repair elements
• Tool material: HSS drill and HSS tap included
• Repair element type: thread repair springs/inserts
• Applicable thread size: M12 x 1.75 mm
• Pack quantity: 30 pieces (including tools and repair elements)

How to use

Select the damaged threaded connection and secure the workpiece. Use the HSS drill from the kit to prepare the hole to the required diameter, then employ the HSS tap to cut the new internal thread. Install the stainless steel thread repair spring or insert into the prepared thread using the supplied punch or insertion tool, ensuring the insert is seated flush. Trim or break off any tangs if present, and verify the restored thread with the intended fastener to confirm fit and function.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the component and surrounding area before starting work; clean oil, debris and corrosion to ensure a proper seating surface. Use appropriate cutting fluid with the HSS drill and tap to extend tool life. When working on critical load-bearing or safety-related parts, follow manufacturer torque specifications after repair and consider professional assessment if there is significant material loss.
