Where to buy single thread chasers?

[jstroede]

So I have this set from Craftsman that has worked very well for me through the years, but my M8-1.25 chase is broken. Is there any place that these can be bought as singles? It seems this same kit was sold under many different names. There has to be a way to buy a single replacement without spending $30. Thanks.

Amazon sells a single M8-1.25 chase but you may not like the price. Zoro might but you will pay shipping w/o a min order.

I think that kit is actually made by Rigid? I have the same extra one in Snap On flavor and I'm missing a tap. Everytime I use it (rarely) I remind myself I should order one in. And then forget about it.
Took me almost 15 years to order in a 9/16" 1/2" deep well that was missing from my Snap On socket set... so what's another 15 years?

I've many times made a thread chaser(cleaner-up-er?) by taking a triangle file and cutting a couple sharp grooves across the threads of a correct size regular bolt or nut. Usually does a fine job. Worked great for many years until I finally bought a set similar to the one pictured above.

Pretty sure you can order the individual ones through Snap On. That who's name is on my kit that looks identical to yours.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have taps, but they aren't always the right tool for the job and they certainly don't fit in my kit. This is exactly what I needed.

Thanks a bunch!!

Snappy, use to sell a very similar set,.. Im missing two peices myself. Wish I bought mine at sears. Might be some truth in advertising here, it says " there is a difference " on this set twice. Clearly there is, the layout is different..

That's the one I have as well. Was in a box I was told "make go away" by the boss, so it went away to my garage.

Price was right on yours !

Mine has seen significant use over the years, when I got it, I had no idea how much Id use it.

Looks like they are $5.50 through snap-on. Anyone with an account tell me how much shipping would be?

Thanks.

Snap-on.com new shipping policy?

It looks like Snap-on.com has changed shipping policy, and I did not get the memo (just kidding). Seriously, I have just tried to order a few small accessories at their website and noticed pretty steep shipping charge as opposed to the free shipping once upon a time. Not sure when this was...
