I prefer the Time-sert also. The one draw back to using the Time-sert is the fact you need to drill a larger hole for installation. This is not always possible in some areas and in fact can cause a fracture.

If you have adequate material and the need for the extra clamping force then the Time-sert is the choice.

For the application in question, a Heli-coil is sufficient.
