On topic:
Because the insert provides an enlarged bearing area, the restored fastening is stronger than the original. It is also more durable, since the stainless steel thread is generally tougher than the original material. Precision inserts are corrosion resistant and their 22-microinch or better surface finish provides a smooth-running, wear-resistant fastening.
