NES thread restore tool

[Buckgnarly]

Anyone have this, specifically the external set? I have the Kastar thread chaser kit and a set of thread files, but this thing looks handy. Could have saved me a ton of effort on a few CV and outer axle stubs that had boogered threads.

Looking at the NES 1000 kit here....

I've looked at that thing for years and wished I had one, but it's never made it to the top of the list for me yet.

I have the combination set 1017 ...one of my best investments,pulled me out of the fire a few times.

It is very handy, especially for odd ball stuff like hydraulic fittings. There is no alternative when it's needed. I have intern and external in all the sizes available.

I've got the smaller one, as well as the internal kit. Not always 100% effective, but especially the internal one is a whole lot more effective than nothing, which is often the alternative. Like Trash Mech said, when you need it, you need it. I don't use it often, but when I do it's a life saver.

We recently bought a Nes123 complete external kit. It has been a great assets to our tool box just for cutting threaded rod, fixing spindles, wheel studs and ect...


My main goal has been to build a nice set of extractors, drill bits, thread chaser, helicoils sets,

Our current list of tools
MAP gas torch with 10' hose
Snap on rex25B multi spline extractor set
29 piece left handed drill bit set
Craftsman 10 PC bolt extractor set
Irwin screw extractor set

Craftsman 48pc master rethreading kit
NES123 complete external rethreading kit
Helicoil spark plug master rethreading kit


We would like to add a Nes1007, Nes1036 sets, a set of split Dies
As well as a full line up of helicoil kits

Although these items have not been cheep they have been very effective
When work on older cars and work hardened equipment. Now that we have learn the processes necessary to remove and restore bad fastener correctly depending on each scenario

OK, do I dare ask what that is or is that something better left to my teenage boys to explain to me on some cold winter night...

Your teenage boys aren't old enough to explain this one to you. NES was the first Nintendo video game box sold in the US. It's the one that made very computer sounded beeps and boops as you made Mario jump around and smash things for the very first time. Sold 1985 to 1995.
