Excellent for dressing new threads too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice quality. Much cheaper than buying a new die set. *by F***D on November 1, 2025* I bought the SAE version a couple years ago and was able to save a $300 drag link for my classic car. Much less expensive than investing in the die that would’ve been required to fix those threads that I’d likely never use again. The world’s going metric, so I bought this for “just in case”. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life saver! *by D***L on December 31, 2022* This is the first thread file I’ve ever bought or used, and it worked great and saved my $600 axle that I damaged while hammering it out. I like that it’s made in USA, but do wish it came with a slip on handle. Tip for newbies like myself, it’s a slow process. When I initially used it, I saw no results thought I wasted my money. Depending on how bad the damage is, you will have to work it back and forth for a while. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/184954699-general-tools-177-2-thread-repair-file-black](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/184954699-general-tools-177-2-thread-repair-file-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
