Laser Tools Wheel Internal Thread Kit - 6116

The kit covers specific thread sizes used on vehicles from PSA (M12 x 1.25), Mercedes-Benz and BMW (M12 x 1.5), Volvo (M12 x 1.75), and VAG models (M14 x 1.5).

While an impact gun is recommended for best results, a powerful drill with a suitable socket adapter might be used. However, control and efficiency may be reduced, and care must be taken to maintain straight alignment.

After each use, clean the dies with a brush or compressed air to remove any metal filings or debris. A light application of oil can help prevent rust during storage.

'Consumable' means the tool will wear out with use over time, similar to a cutting blade. Its lifespan depends on the frequency and severity of the tasks it performs.

This kit is best suited for cleaning or repairing damaged threads. Severely stripped or cross-threaded holes may require more extensive repair methods or component replacement.

An impact gun provides consistent torque and speed, making the thread cleaning or cutting process faster and more efficient than manual methods. It helps the die to cut smoothly and effectively.

Ensure you are using the correct thread size die for the application. Apply sufficient cutting fluid or lubricant. Check that the die is running straight and not at an angle. If the damage is severe, the die may be worn or the material too hard for effective repair with this tool.

Verify that you have selected the correct thread pitch and diameter. Ensure the bolt hole is clean of debris before attempting to use the die. The existing damage might be too severe for the die to engage properly.

These tools are consumable. Excessive force, improper alignment, or cutting extremely damaged threads will accelerate wear. Ensure proper lubrication and avoid forcing the tool. Consider using a manual method for very fine adjustments or less severe damage to preserve the die.
