Full details
The BOA Rotary Thread Rescue (RTR2) is designed for anyone working with threaded components, offering a universal solution to repair both internal and external threads across metric and imperial sizes without needing multiple tools. Its key benefit is the ability to quickly re-dress damaged threads on any material, drastically simplifying thread repair.

FAQs
What is the BOA Rotary Thread Rescue (RTR2)?
The RTR2 is a universal tool designed to repair damaged internal and external threads on all materials, using standard rotary tools.
Does it work on both metric and imperial threads?
Yes, the RTR2 is designed to work on both metric and imperial threads, regardless of the pitch.
What materials can the RTR2 be used on?
It can be used on all materials, including metals, plastics, and more.
What tools do I need to use the RTR2?
You need a standard drill, die grinder, or rotary tool with a 6.35mm (1/4in) arbor or collet.
How do I maintain the RTR2?
Clean the diamond head with a soft brush after each use and store it in a dry place to ensure its longevity.
Is there a specific speed I should use?
While specific speeds vary by material and tool, start at a lower speed and adjust as needed, focusing on consistent pressure and alignment.
Can this tool create new threads?
No, the RTR2 is designed to repair and re-dress existing, damaged threads, not to create entirely new ones.
Troubleshooting
Tool not engaging with thread
Ensure the tool is running at an appropriate speed for the material. Check that the tool is centered on the damaged thread before engaging.
Thread repair is not clean
Clean the diamond head thoroughly. Reduce the speed of your rotary tool and apply light, consistent pressure. Ensure the tool is properly aligned with the thread pitch.
Tool spins freely without repairing
Verify the arbor is securely tightened in the rotary tool. Ensure the head is making contact with the damaged thread and not slipping.

- Durable construction with a diamond head.
Cons
- Requires a rotary tool (drill, die grinder) to operate.
- May have a slight learning curve for optimal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Insert the 6.35mm (1/4in) arbor into your chosen rotary tool (drill, die grinder, or rotary tool). Ensure the tool is securely clamped. Select the damaged thread you wish to repair.
Compatibility: The RTR2 is compatible with standard drills, die grinders, and rotary tools with a 6.35mm (1/4in) chuck or collet. It accommodates metric and imperial threads of any pitch.
Care: After each use, clean the diamond head with a soft brush to remove debris. Store the tool in a dry place. Avoid excessive force, as the tool is designed to re-dress threads, not to cut new ones. For longevity, inspect the diamond head periodically for wear.
