Use Red Loctite on the Coil. Keeps it from unscrewing out.

I hope its never needs to be unscrews for equipment repairment

Those coils can be use for m4*15mm bolts ?

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

I don't have anything as small as m4, but I suspect there's either a coil style or an insert

Where does the tab go once broken off?

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

This hole goes all the way through, so it fell on the driveway

[@andrewleonard9257]

@@YoshimoshiGarage I see. So if it didn't go all the way through, would you fish the tab out with a magnet?

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

Probably, yes. Or a shot of compressed air

So, how long are these taps? My 6x14mm aluminum hole stripped out.

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

The 6mm is about 2.25" of reach pas the tap holder

​@@YoshimoshiGarageI love the way you use metric and imperial in the same sentence just to confuse people a bit more bit like Double Dutch 😮

Without having them at hand, I guess you could count the ridges. Should at least get you very close.
