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

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.

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,

Cuts fast use with care. Quick

Great tool to fix and reform threards that may be damaged, rusty or very gunked up.

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.

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

I purchased this tool after watching a review of a similar product on YouTube. This one is very similar if not the exact product. Works great with a high rpm impact drill. Also it does take a little getting use to at first, my suggestion is lock down whatever your working on and use two hands to control the direction of the drill as well as the recoil of the spinning bit. Also go with the direction of the drill while using. LIFE SAVER!!!

Works exactly how the description said it would.

This thing is great, only used twice for one application, so cant speak for longevity. The shank is stepped to go in both a drill or a rotary tool which is handy. The finishing cut is great for what it is, this is poor/lazy mans tap and die set. Works amazingly on make threads. Little difficult on female threads but only because they are more difficult to reach. If it takes a year to wear out Im coming running back to buy another.

Although I was shocked by how small it is - it saved a damaged 3/4 threaded rod I had already welded to a bracket. I used a Dremel and magnification and was able within a few minutes to get the nut to travel the full length of the rod. ONE LIMITATION is this works best where you can get the tool perpendicular to the threads being repaired. Even using a Dremel extension I had to work at a slight angle 6 from the end of the rod which wasnt a problem due to the large threads I was fixing but it could be an issue on finer threads.
