I'm thinking that the Timesert may be the same things as the "Save-a-Thread inserts" Scott K mentioned.
Either way, I'm sure that Scott has installed more inserts than I have!
I just read one of the comments on that monotone video I posted (can't vouch for its accuracy):
These time serts are so much better than a heli-coil it isn't even close. you can use a heli-coil tap to cut threads for a time sert and buy a counterbore tool for the flange. Use a grade 8 bolt as the installer. Just toss the heli-coils and use the drill & tap that comes with the helicoil set if you already have the helicoil kit..
