"If you don't have one of these, make sure your friends do. I've had it for 3 yrs, used it 2 times for bad situations, used it dozens of times just to clean out some corrosion, thread locker, etc."

"Got me out of a jam the first time I used it. Seems like good quality. I wish it had a few more sizes, but other than that it's a nice set."

it'e good, August 12, 2008
By MilesDD from Virgina

"Unless your thread is really destroyed, these re-thread dies and taps will fix the threads.

Tip: Instead of drilling out and inserting a HeliCoil, just go to the next largest size SAE ot Metric thread and re-tap at that size.

For example, if you ruin a metric 6mm bolt, then just drill and re-tap for a 1/4" - 20 bolt

"I have had this product for many years. My hobby is servicing and rebuilding motorcycles for the street and the race track. So many times a bike comes to me that looks like the only tools the owner has is a hammer and a pair of pliers. I can't count how many times I have been able to rethread a cross threaded bolt hole saving the cost and time of inserting a helicoil. This set does not cut new threads, it fixes the old ones. The thread files are great for damaged bolts and axels that are to large for the rethreader tool.

This item is well worth the money and when used as directed is a great asset to any mechanics tool inventory.

"The only reason I got this kit beside the others is because it had the thread and pitch that other kits didn't have. The item worked fast and accurate. But price for this kit was too much for such a small set. Also didn't have the other handle like the other kits."
