The split dies work very good they flex and open up more for if your starter thread is boogered up also a 3 corner file will do the majority of your thread work a set of different sizes and you can fix just about any thread that is worth fixing with a little filing beats having to buy a different size die everytime you run into odd sizes

Thread file...they make metric ones..... I've been in machining and machinery repair for a long time and a thread file is indispensable.
I just had to clean up mashed threads on an 84 200ES rear axle. One side the hub nut threads were dinged and also those fine axle nut threads had a smashed spot. Three minutes with my combo metric thread file and I was screwing hardware back on the axle.
There are four thread pitches on each file (file has four sides)
Trust me, it's THE quickest and most useful tool for cleaning up OD threads and I use them at least one a week. If you can use a file without butchering everything, this file is for you
May bad.....you get EIGHT different thread pitches on a thread file....four on each end of the four-sided file as well
Another vote for a thread file. I've got tap and die sets and thread restorer sets (like taps but not as aggressive and not for cutting threads).
The thread file gets used more than anything. More of fixing a bad spot or two on the threads than having to deal with a strip tease.

Thanks guys looks like the thread file it is.

I personally like my 60degree 3 corner thread file all u need is a few different sizes and you can cover any thread pitch standard or metric you dont have to buy a bunch of different sizes and hope you have what you need when you need it they will fix just about any messed up thread if you know what your doing and if they cant it needs a die to reform/chase the threads

One more vote for a thread file.
The harbor freight tap and die kits are good for "chasing threads" but suck at making new threads. But for the price they are worth having around.

Very interesting. Not that I use them everyday but would have thought a DIE would have been the key.

If you can get it started I'd use a die. But a thread file is super handy esp if the first bit it too boogered to start the die.

Depends on the situation if the start of the threads are bad you may need a file just to get the die started and a 60deg 3 corner thread file will file any v thread there is its very versatile you dont have to buy a new one for every pitch you run across 1 can handle just about anything long as its just a few bad spots if the threads are really bad it would be easier to chase it with a die but if its just a few bad spots a thread file is the way to go i use them all the time at work im a machinist so im always fixing stuff that the young hands mess up getting valves and pumps apart not paying attention or just plain dont care in their eyes thats what the machinist is for when most od the time you can get the job done without messing certain things up

Just tried the thread file I got from Graingers, I really haven’t had the time to really spend on it but I do d give it a go. Seems like a does a real nice job without having to worry about filing to deep. The part I’m having the most issue with is the start of the threads. I think with a bit of patience I’ll be able to get it.
