General Tools 177-2 Thread Repair File,Black

Works as advertised. Excellent for dressing new threads too.

I bought the SAE version a couple years ago and was able to save a $300 drag link for my classic car. Much less expensive than investing in the die that would’ve been required to fix those threads that I’d likely never use again. The world’s going metric, so I bought this for “just in case”.

This is the first thread file I’ve ever bought or used, and it worked great and saved my $600 axle that I damaged while hammering it out. I like that it’s made in USA, but do wish it came with a slip on handle. Tip for newbies like myself, it’s a slow process. When I initially used it, I saw no results thought I wasted my money. Depending on how bad the damage is, you will have to work it back and forth for a while.

Worked amazingly well to repair the threads on our roller furler drum saving us several hundreds of dollars.

Had s long specialty axle bolt with threads that were trashed and was able to file the threads back to start a nut and continue using bolt. Multiple thread options on this tool. A must have for mechanics.

I have an old Moen faucet in my Airstream trailer that the wife really loves. It was in need of repairs and I could purchase all of the parts except the original brass and copper base. The threads that the side sprayer connected to were stripped, so I couldn't get the nut on, which holds the whole thing to the counter, nor screw on the side sprayer connection. I had never heard of a thread file before but decided to try it for the repair. It's a good solid tool, very well made. It took a lot of filing and bending the water pipes out of the way but finally the new nut went onto the threads. When filing you want to use the thread count on the file that matches the threads to be filed. Count the number of threads in an inch and that's the number you match to the file. File in the direction of the threads (not across) and rotate around the threads, trying to thread a new nut as you go; don't force it. Eventually you'll have the threads cleaned/sharpened and the nut will go on easily. There are metric files as well as standard pitches. Very pleased and it's good addition to my tool box

was concerned whether it was quality. but works great

Feels like quality steel. And should work just fine

Es una herramienta de poco uso. Pero no debe de faltar en tu caja de herramienta o en el taller. La use para reparar la cuerda de un armadura de una licuadora y corrigió sin problema la rosca que estaba barrida. La recomiendo.

Work with the existing threads into the damaged area. Work slowly, and keep the teeth clean. Will do a very respectable for you.

All good, would seller again.

Recomendo, ótimo, atendeu minha necessidade,

Compre este reparador de roscas ya que la rosca del eje del motor de la bomba de agua se daño y pensé en llevarlo a reparar, cuando vi esta herramienta. La compre me la enviaron rápidamente y la reparación la hice en 3 minutos, cumplio su cometido y se pago sola.
