NES thread repair tools save serious money by being quick and easy to use and avoiding spending on large quantities of taps and dies or power tools.

The new range of thread repair hand tools automatically adjust to any thread diameter and pitch, can be used on left hand and right hand threads, both imperial and metric and need no prior measurement of the thread.

A good example of the NES tool in action is the maintenance of large diameter threads which is often challenging and costly. Large size and weight make it difficult to work on the damaged threads at a workbench so repairs need to be done on the spot.

The NES thread repair tool deals with this problem easily, quickly and cost effectively. The NES slides into the thread and adjusts to the diameter and pitch automatically. A couple of rotations and like magic the thread is fixed with barely any effort.

The NES tools can also repair threads where ordinary taps and dies would fail. These include cone threads, components that are damaged at the end of the thread and the tool can enter below a damaged area and work outwards to complete a repair.
