FAQs

What vehicles are covered by this thread kit?

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).

Can I use this kit with a standard drill?

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.

How should I clean the dies after use?

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.

What does 'consumable' mean in relation to this product?

'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.

Can this kit repair completely stripped or cross-threaded holes?

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.

What is the benefit of using an impact gun with this kit?

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.

Troubleshooting

Die is not cutting threads 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.

Tool is difficult to insert into the bolt hole.

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.

Die appears to be wearing out quickly.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precisely engineered for common European vehicle thread sizes.
  • Facilitates quick and effective repair of damaged wheel bolt threads.
  • Designed for efficient use with impact guns.
  • Comes with a convenient and protective storage case.

Cons

  • Tools are consumable and have a limited lifespan.
  • Requires specific knowledge of thread sizes for correct application.
  • Best results achieved with an impact gun, which may not be available to all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Select the correct thread die from the kit that matches the damaged wheel bolt thread size (e.g., M12 x 1.25 for PSA, M12 x 1.5 for Mercedes/BMW, M12 x 1.75 for Volvo, M14 x 1.5 for VAG). Attach the die to your impact gun or a suitable manual driver. Apply a small amount of cutting fluid or lubricant to the damaged thread and the die. Insert the die into the wheel bolt hole and engage the impact gun or driver. Run the tool slowly at first, allowing the die to engage the damaged threads and clean or reform them. Retract the tool periodically to clear debris. Always ensure the tool is running straight.

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for internal wheel bolt threads of the following sizes: M12 x 1.25, M12 x 1.5, M12 x 1.75, and M14 x 1.5. Ensure your vehicle utilizes one of these thread specifications before use.

Care: As these tools are consumable, proper care is essential to prolong their life. Clean the dies thoroughly after each use to remove metal shavings and debris. Store the kit in its original blow mould case to protect the dies from damage and contamination. Avoid excessive force or cross-threading when using the tool, as this can damage both the workpiece and the die.
