Abstract: A device is provided for inserting coil inserts into threaded holes. The device includes an insertion tool having a manipulator end which is configured to receive and hold a coil insert, and which is operable to apply a torque to the coil insert to screw the coil insert into a threaded hole when presented thereto, the manipulator end having an insertion axis which is coincident with the axis of the coil insert when held by the manipulator end. The device further includes a tool support to which the insertion tool is mounted, the tool support being fixable to an end of a robot arm whereby the manipulator end is presentable by the robot arm to the threaded hole for insertion therein of the coil insert.
