KATO Fastening Systems, Inc.

Designed specifically to create internal STI threads that will accommodate a CoilThread insert.Easy starting for through-holes and blind holes

The KATO Tang Break-off Tool is an important tool when installing tanged inserts. Some unwisely undervalue this tool. The advantages offered by the KTBT should not be ignored. If the tang is not properly removed, the hole may be compromised and will not allow the male fastener to pass through. The best way to remove the tang is through a sharp strong force directed away from the installed insert.

LockOne is tested in accordance with NAS3350 (National Aerospace Specification for impact type vibration test). LockOne can be easily substituted into existing designs. LockOne is reusable, does not degrade with each cycle. KATO’s LockOne is fast and easy to install. No locking compounds to apply. A standard dodecagonal (12-Point) socket installs the LockOne at the same time as the nut, minimizing installation time. LockOne is adjustable and removable after installation with the same 12-point socket.

The Best of Both Worlds... Exclusive to KATO, the KATO Prewinder Electric (KPE) tool combines the best features of the air and electric installation tools. The KATO Prewinder Electric tool is the fastest semi-automatic installation system available for helically coiled screw thread inserts (CoilThread, HeliCoil, Recoil, etc.)!
