C.K 495029 Re-Threading Tool

Great little tool! I already used it and it works great! I even drilled a 2.5mm pilot hole in plastic and used it to cut a new thread and it worked perfectly!

This CK re-threading tool (M3.5 x 0.6) is a very handy thing to have in your tool bag. It’s perfect for cleaning out damaged or paint-filled threads in switch and socket back boxes, making fitting screws much easier. Simple to use, well made, and does exactly what it’s designed to do. One of those small tools that proves its worth very quickly.

But too small for hand but good quality and easy to use does the job

Good tool easy to use

Just as described, worked a treat. I actually used it to cut an entirely new thread (in quite soft metal) after failing to extract a screw that seemed harder steel than the material it was in, and so ultimately drilled it out for a slightly larger hole. Not really meant for that though, but no doubt it can realign somewhat existing threads nicely if it can cut anew.

It worked! Easily rethreaded the pattress box saving the faf of replacing it.

I had a similar tool to this for many years until I mislaid it. It is the kind of tool most divers don’t realise they need - until the day they struggle to refit a switch or socket to an older back box. This CK tool is the right size, well made so it fits in the hand like a screwdriver and should prove to be good value for money.

Had to re-tap the lugs in the patress box behind a light switch, this should have been ideal for the job but just didn’t work for me, maybe the lugs were too far gone. The tool itself is well made and easy to use so can’t complain on that score.

Muy pequeño
