It worked perfectly! Every mechanic should have one of these to get them out of a bind when working on lug nuts and exhaust studs
5/5

I used this file to restore the threads of a busted lug nut instead of removing the entire spindle and wheel bearing to replace it. It worked great and saved me hours of work. Heavy-duty and well-constructed. Despite the fact that some teeth on the lateral ends were missing,.

It works like a charm! I snagged my outer tie by accident
5/5

With the hammer, I smashed the threads together on the rod bolt. Rather than buying a new part, I decided to try this method I learned about on YouTube and ordered this Thread Restorer File. I received it in two days thanks to Amazon's quick shipping, and filing it took only three minutes, and the nut went back on like magic, smooth as butter. Get this file and save money and time! It's a great investment, and after using it, I cleaned all of my lugs from my car, and the lugnuts go in a lot easier now. GET IT! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR DECISION! (There are no broken or missing teeth)!.

The best specialty tool for under $20
5/5

I wanted to use it first, and it did exactly what it said it would do. I took a nut off a wheel and cut it off. Then I smashed the threads with a chisel and a hammer, making them look like they were cut. It took three sessions of ten minutes each. I folled instructions and lined up the right thread size. It was getting stuck in the smashed areas, but it cut right through it. I can still see the damage, but the nut screws on without a hitch. FOR YOUR BOX, A MUST HAVE TOOL.

This device is effective
5/5

When one of my router's spindles became cross-threaded, a friend suggested I get one of these. threaded. "What have I got to lose?" I reasoned, despite my skepticism. My router threads were repaired within 15 minutes of receiving it. This is a fantastic device. To learn how to use it, watch a few YouTube videos (instructions are not included).

I requested metric and received SAE instead
3/5

There are also a few missing teeth. The 2228D model was advertised on the packaging for some reason, but the numbering engraved on the metal and the threads (11 through 24) were not metric. It's not a big deal; all I have to do now is return and re-enter the information. order. Just letting you know that if you needed this the next day, it's possible that it will happen to you. br>br>Some teeth appear to be missing on the edges. It's also not a big deal because all of the teeth's center grooves are present, which are what you'll be using to fix threads the majority of the time.

It performs as expected
5/5

AWESOME TOOL. Awesome. I needed to use it at work almost immediately. I had a piece with bad threads that was causing downtime due to the difficulty of threading the part, so I used this tool. And it was a huge success. Part of it was completed. It is also of good quality. Not junk.

This is a fantastic tool to have in your toolbox
4/5

Saves the thread! When a thread die won't start on a damaged bolt/stud, this complete thread saver will come in handy. To get your die started, run this file over the threads several times. After that, you're free to go home. br>The file pieces on the very outside aren't very durable. They're prone to breaking off, but there's still plenty of file in the middle. Even the most expensive thread files have been known to do this. In terms of cost - It's difficult to beat. br>Will purchase again!.

It performs admirably
5/5

It really works. I had stripped threads on a side-by-side crank shaft and was able to straighten the metric threads without having to replace the crank shaft. I was able to save a significant amount of time and money as a result of your assistance.
