A threaded fastener hole repair apparatus for repairing a stripped target screw hole so that the desired screw can once again be secured therein comprises an elongated, conical fastener sleeve having a threaded exterior surface and a substantially hollow, conical interior. The elongated fastener sleeve is made up of ten discrete breakaway portions, defined as a single proximal end section and nine sleeve sections, with each separated by a circumferential score in the fastener sleeve, thereby allowing the fastener sleeve to be resized by snapping off breakaway portions a desired point. The substantially hollow, conical interior of the fastener sleeve includes four elongated flaps which run in a narrowing manner along the wall of the conical interior in the fastener sleeve, providing an additional surface inside the conical interior of the fastener sleeve to mesh with the threads of the screw being inserted into the fastener sleeve.
