Product Information

Full details

This guide is for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics working with exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensors, particularly on DAF vehicles or any application with an M16 x 1.5 thread. The key benefit is its ability to quickly and effectively clean damaged or corroded threads, saving time and preventing costly repairs. A minor caveat is the need for axle grease to capture debris. The Laser Tools EGT Sensor Thread Chaser 9005 is designed to restore M16 x 1.5 threads, featuring a durable Titanium Nitride coated chrome molybdenum construction for longevity.

FAQs

What thread size does this chaser clean?

This specific model (9005) is designed for M16 x 1.5 threads.

What is the benefit of the TiN coating?

The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating provides a harder, more durable surface, reducing wear and friction, which extends the tool's lifespan and improves its performance.

Why should I use axle grease?

Axle grease helps to lubricate the threads during cleaning and, more importantly, captures metal shavings removed from the threads, preventing them from contaminating the system.

Can this tool be used to cut new threads?

No, this thread chaser is designed solely for cleaning and repairing existing threads, not for cutting new ones.

What vehicles is this thread chaser commonly used for?

It is particularly useful for exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor threads, often found on DAF vehicles, but it can be used on any component with M16 x 1.5 female threads.

How do I clean the thread chaser after use?

After use, clean the chaser with a brush and degreaser to remove all grease and metal debris from the flutes. Store in a dry place.

What are the dimensions of the tool?

The total length of the thread chaser is 43mm.

Troubleshooting

Chaser is difficult to turn

Ensure you are turning in the correct direction (clockwise). Back out the chaser to clear debris. Check for excessive damage to the threads that the chaser may not be able to rectify.

Thread chaser not cleaning effectively

Apply more axle grease. Ensure the chaser is properly seated in the thread. Try a slightly firmer, consistent pressure. If the threads are severely damaged, the chaser may not be sufficient.

Debris not being captured

Ensure sufficient axle grease is applied to the flutes. Clean the chaser more frequently during use.

Pros and Cons

  • Not designed for cutting new threads, only cleaning existing ones.
  • Requires careful application to avoid over-stressing the threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the M16 x 1.5 thread you intend to clean is accessible.
  2. Apply a generous amount of axle grease to the flutes of the thread chaser.
  3. Carefully insert the chaser into the threaded port.
  4. Gently turn the chaser clockwise to engage the threads. Use a wrench or appropriate tool on the drive end if applicable.
  5. Continue to turn slowly, periodically backing out to clear any accumulated debris.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for M16 x 1.5 threads.
  • Applications include cleaning EGT sensor threads on DAF vehicles and any other mechanical component featuring M16 x 1.5 female threads.
