Thread Repair Tool, File, Chase, Restore, Repair, and Clean Internal and External Thread: Male, Female, Inch, Metric and Pipe Thread (RT1) (3/8 Dia. Head x 2 Length x 1/8 Arbor) by Rotary Thread

If you have to repair threads, this is the tool you need, my only suggestion is order the larger one, also do not add pressure to the tool lay it in the damaged threads lightly run along threads,

Its very rare these days that things actually work, and this thing worked. Saved me $985!. We have a firetruck and one of the hose reels threads had corroded to the point of no return. The replacement cost was extremely expensive as the thread is attached to one piece and can not be replaced. I gave this thing a try as a hail-mary and it actually worked. Half of the threads were on the backside that I couldnt see so I just followed the front threads and prayed that i wouldnt jump over a thread. Followed it all the way back around and kept going. Used a little Brakleen to clean off the grit and the coupler fit right on first time around. I still cant believe it.

Works great! Was really easy to use in my dremel.

Not easy to use...maybe for bigger thread would work ..but the wheel axle thread it didnt

Havent used it yet but looks like a good quality tool... stay tuned..

I bought this to clean up the threads on a part where the threads were distorted by welding. This tool cleaned them up nicely in a matter of minutes. I also used it to clean up the rusty threads on our main drain clean-out fitting which was pretty messed up after nearly fifty years. Fifteen minutes later the threads on the drain and cap were cleaned up and the cap securely screwed on. I would suggest when working on heavily damaged threads that you stop occasionally to flush the rust or metal particles out of the threads. And no matter what, flush them out when you are done.

I bought it to use in my shop in place of a thread file. Its smaller than I expected but thats a good thing. Has been useful and effective.

Im a mechanic. Damaged threads are just part of the job sometimes. The case that brought me in contact with this tool was a spindle on the rear end of a Dana 80 truck axle. It would have required a $200 3 threading die. I decided to try this tool. I took something that looked beyond repair and transformed it to the point where the large lock nut spun on by hand. It takes some skill. Its not a toilet plunger. You need to have a steady hand and a good Dremel tool but the payoff is quite impressive. Its a tool anyone who works on anything threaded should have. It saved my butt and a buttload of money as well.

Ruined the threads on a crankshaft and this fixed them

Cuts fast use with care. Quick
