Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a replacement insert, which may be used for replacing stripped threads and providing the new smooth surface for a washer/gasket on component, such as for a vehicle. The insert has an inner and outer threaded surface, and the inner threads are merely partially formed in the inner cavity of the insert, leaving an unthreaded surface proximate the end of the insert. The insert has a shoulder with a greater diameter than the hole into which it is inserted, to stop further insertion. The insert can be threaded into the hole using the thread chaser bit screwed insert, and continued rotation of the chaser past a thread stop can form remaining threads, allowing for application of torque to install the insert in the component.

Abstract: An upright standard including a center work holder rack providing means of mounting two horizontal workpiece support holders that can readily secure workpieces of a differet height. The work holder rack and workpiece so retained may be readily adjusted to a selected working or display height by means of a unique rack support that permits height adjustments quickly and positively. The standard is supported in an upright position by rear legs with means of adjusting the working angle and which are collapsible to allow the easel to be reduced to a compact unit for storage and shipment.
