Kastar Hand Tools Thread Restorer File

The Kastar Hand Tools Thread Restorer File is a thread repair file, also called a thread chaser file or thread restoring file. It cleans up and restores damaged, burred, or dirty external threads on bolts, studs, axles, and other threaded parts. Because it works from the side of the thread, you can often repair a thread without removing the part or cutting new threads.

Key Features:

• Multi-pitch file design that lets you match the file to the thread you are repairing
• Hardened steel construction made to cut and clean thread profiles
• Straightens crushed or flattened threads and removes burrs, rust, and debris
• Compact, hand-held format that fits in a toolbox
• Useful for automotive, motorcycle, marine, RV, powersports, and general workshop jobs

Several versions are available in this product line, each covering its own range of thread pitches. Choose the version that matches the threads you work with. Each one is a practical addition to a mechanic's or home garage toolkit, and it can help you avoid replacing a part with minor thread damage.
