Repair Tool Works From Undamaged Threads
Israel’s NES Tools dominates the bolt and nut thread repair sector with their NES 1, 2, and 3 external thread repair tools. Their main North American distributor, Anglo American Tools, has been handling the machining tools for over a decade.
Each tool is universal, infinitely adjustable, and doesn’t depend on pitch or object diameter.
“You don’t need a caliper or pitch gauge,” says Stephen Tuck, Anglo American President. “Just open it, size it on the tool, and tighten it firmly enough to spin with your fingers.”
During use, two matching and parallel cutters float lightly, finding the thread Vs whether fine or coarse, hard or soft, or left or right-handed. The cutters are made from high-speed steel with 58 Rockwell hardness built to last for hundreds of uses.
“As you turn the tool, you’re gently but firmly pushing the cutter through the damaged threads,” Tuck says. “Unlike other thread repair tools, ours starts anywhere on the undamaged thread and works back rather than starting it at the tip or end where the damage usually occurs.”
The external thread repair tools come in three basic sizes: the smaller 5/32 to 11/16-in. NES 1A, the 11/16 to 1 1/2-in. NES 2, and the larger 1 3/8 to 6-in. NES 3.
Prices range from $55 to $449 plus S&H.
