Tangless Wire Inserts

Olander has a great selection of tangless Heli-Coil® inserts online, designed to save you time and effort on any project. Where standard Heli-Coil® inserts require you to break off the tang after installation, tangless helicoils are absent of a tang and can therefore simplify and expedite the installation process. Instead of a tang, Heli-Coil® tangless inserts alternatively include an insert-driving notch that securely hooks the insert in place. To ensure your tangless Heli-Coil® insert is installed just right, our fastener experts recommend prepping your final placement hole in advance and gently anchoring your insert during installation using tangless hand tools or power tools. Browse our collection of labor-saving tangless Heli-Coil® inserts at Olander by diameter, thread size, finish, and other specifications.
