KATO Keyless Chuck (Electrically Driven) Installation Tools for Tangless CoilThread Inserts

Designed in 2002 by KATO engineers - Specifically for faster and lower cost installation of KATO Tangless® Inserts. The KFS Electric Driver was designed to install insert sizes 2-56 through 1/4 inch, replacing the previous need for 2 separate drivers.

Features:

Lower Cost than current electric drivers.
Uses same power transformer currently sold by KATO, HeliCoil®, Recoil® and Microdot®.
Keyless Chuck allows for quick and easy disconnect.

The new tangless Hex Shank Installation Mandrels were designed exclusively for use with the KFS Electric Driver. In addition, the Hex Shank tools cost 35% less than previous tools!

The new driver and hex tools are now available exclusively through KATO Fastening Systems!

The electric tool consist of three major components:

The quick disconnect keyless chuck electric driver.
The transformer.
The Hex Shank installation mandrel.

Special Notes:

All three components are required to install helically coiled inserts with the electric tool.
Each thread size will require a different installation mandrel (see table below).
The Tangless 2CTSB series of installation tools can be used for both manual and electric installation. For hand installation snap the mandrel into the (optional) ergonomically designed handle.
Wrenches (optional) for setting the adjusting sleeve are also available.
Kato strongly recommends Prewinder type tools for UNF (fine) and Metric thread sizes.
