Fix Damaged Fastener Threads the Easy Way with Nes Repair Tools

Anyone who has spent time spinning wrenches has run into fasteners that don’t want to back off. It’s inevitable. Most of the time you can work them loose. But sometimes, lady luck is nowhere to be found and you mangle the threads of that stubborn bolt or nut. 

Typically, this is when you’d reach for a tap and die kit. While they get the job done, they’re a hassle to use. Having to determine things like the bolt/nut I.D. or O.D., thread pitch, bolt depth, thread direction, and so on creates a bunch of extra work. We’re here to tell you there’s a better way. 

Nes Thread Repair Tools clean-up, chase, and repair stripped, rusty, or damaged internal or external bolt and nut threads. It doesn’t matter if you’re working with SAE or metric hardware, coarse or fine pitch, left or right-handed threads, these tools can make repairs with no setup or calibration required. Simply insert the repair tool and turn the adjusting knob to fit it to the proper bolt diameter. While that’s happening, the tool’s cutting blades automatically float into the thread slots, adapting to the correct pitch. All that’s left to do is to spin the tool like you would a tap or die to begin the repair. As the tool is turning, its cutting blades perfectly cut, clean, and clear the threads, leaving you with a bolt or nut that’s ready for many more years of service. And because just a single Nes tool can be used to do the same job it can take dozens of taps and dies to do, you’ll also save tool money and valuable storage space. 

Nes designed the Thread Repair Tools to last, too. Each one is made from HSS metal that’s hardened to Rockwell specifications (58C for external/62C for internal tools) for extra durability, and the blades are replaceable so thread cutting performance is always top notch.
