Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to a standard fixed thread die?
The split design eliminates cross-threading by starting repairs behind damage, while fixed dies often jump threads and worsen damage.
Can I use this thread chaser with power tools?
No, use hand tools only. Power tools will damage threads and void the warranty.
Which vehicles use M12-1.50 metric threading?
Most European and Japanese vehicles, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, plus light trucks and trailers.
What makes the indexing pins important for thread repair?
Indexing pins keep both die halves perfectly aligned during operation, preventing wobble that could create uneven thread repair.
