Review on πŸ”§ ROTARY THREAD Repair File - Restore, Repair & Clean Male, Female Inch, Metric & Pipe Threads (RT1) (3/8" Dia. Head x 2" Length x 1/8" Arbor) by Eric Basler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Where has it been all my life?

I am a mechanic. Damaged threads are sometimes just part of the job. The case that brought me into contact with this tool was a spindle on the rear axle of a Dana 80 truck. This would require a $200 3 inch thread die. I decided to try this tool. I took what looked beyond repair and modified it so that the large locknut was finger tight. This requires certain skills. It's not a toilet. Pistons. You need a steady hand and a good Dremel tool, but the payoff is pretty impressive. This is a must-have tool for anyone working with threads. It also saved my ass and a lot of money.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • there are defects
