M12-1.50 Steelman Metric Split Die Thread Chaser: Repair Wheel Studs & Bolts Easily! Review

If this had cap screws instead of pins it would be excellent. As it was I used vice-grips to hold it closed. Tedious but it did the job.

This repaired the threads on my 250R crankshaft flawlessly. Filed down the mushroom caused by the magneto puller and ran it through. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

While shipping was a little slow, the steelman chased the threads on four wheel studs in ten minutes. It was worth the wait. I’m glad I did not have to replace the studs. That would have taken hours. Great product.

I am usually cheap but I will pay premium for a good tool. the tool is well worth the money and saved my butt big-time. ( 1/2 my studs on a truck had bad messed up the threads.). I did not use a socket because it let the halves be a little loose and did not work as well, I used a big vise grips and it works perfect every time. Very pleased

I was able to repair a damaged lug bolt on a car that otherwise would have had me tearing apart my suspension or taking a grinder to it in order to replace. Really cool design that saved the day.

This really saved me. I used it to straighten a wheel stud on my Honda. The mechanic had put the lug on and managed to cross thread it! The Steelman saved me a trip back to have the stud repaired. A little pricy but way worth it. Very glad I purchased this tool.

Had a damaged stud on the wheel of my car. Found this and bought one. They work as described and once I was finished the new lugnut went on perfectly

This die is for repairing damaged threads. It's two piece design allows placement on good threads and then working into the damaged thread. This will straighten damaged threads "almost" perfectly. A regular thread die is still required to clean up the damaged thread totally. If should be used first in conjunction with the regular die but may work well enough on its own. Be sure to use some oil to keep from galling damaged threads with use.

I need to fix a small area on a rear lug nut. It took a couple of times but the threader allowed the stripped lug to restore to use again. Good for quick refinish but I would not recommend threading an entire lug nut.

The last time the Dealership rotated the tires on my Ford Focus, one of the lug nuts was crossed threaded on the install. On the Ford Focus you can't replace the Stud, you have to replace the whole hub.I took the advice of another review and used the tool starting at the base of the stud with the tire removed, used an adjustable wrench, and slowly backed the nut off of the stud. Another pass later (just to make sure) and I was done. This tool saved me from replacing a whole hub. It's awesome.

This Split Die saved my butt. I did not realize until too late that the threaded shaft was 1/2-20 not 1/2-13 until I had cross threaded a few turns on my boats steering mechanism. Fortunately there were still several undamaged threads but not at the end of the shaft. How could I know where to start rethreading so it would line up with the undamaged thread. This 2 piece rethreading die solves that problem because you can open the die and position it where the threads are good and use the die…

I had 3 wheel studs in very bad shape after a tire shop messed them up , this chaser worked amazing on them. That's my review.
