The KATO Hex Electric (KHE) installation tool is designed for medium to high volume users of KATO Tangless and Tanged bulk packaged CoilThread inserts (for Strip-Feed packaged inserts KATO recommends using the Prewinder Electric Tool). The KHE tool utilizes the KATO KFS-12 electric driver (CT5408), which incorporates a 1/4" Quick-Disconnect keyless chuck system. Operators can quickly and easily change the installation Mandrel Assembly from one thread size to another or between Tangless CoilThread and CoilThread (tanged) inserts.

In addition, the KHE tool is auto-reversing; once the insert is installed the driver will automatically reverse minimizing overall installation time. Utilizing a powerful electric motor and two torque adusting compression springs (one for smaller thread sizes and one for larger thread sizes) the KFS-12 electric driver (CT5408) is capable of installing thread sizes up to 3/8" & M12 (eliminating the need to purchase two drivers), while allowing operators to precisely adjust the auto-reversing torque to ensure consistent installation and prolong the life of the Mandrel Assembly.
