yes it does has some use,but in most shops they will have taps and dies and a thread cutting lathe to chase the threads with, and i have had both metric and inch versions of these (made in USA)in my tool box for 20 years now.am i the only one who reads tool catalogs anymore?

Nice, sometimes getting a die on munged up threads is not so easy. This tool is not cheap! $133.00 on Amazon $46.00 on ebay

Thanks for the comment, you are absolutely right, an expensive tool... it is not used every day, but when you use it is because the situation has been complicated ajajjaja I live in Spain and the tool has cost me 33 euros, greetings! (translator)

I see thread files on Ebay all the time for under 24 bucks some as cheap as 12 dollars but they don't have the extra grinding on the ends for internal threads but those extra grindings are pretty much useless anyway as far as i am concerned

Thanks for the comment, you're absolutely right! according to the manufacturer that end is to review the internal thread of a nut.... which is very very complicated and above only for large nuts where it allows you to enter with the piece, sincerely the only use I see it is to verify the thread pitch that has the screw to know which face you have to use from the file, greetings (translation)

These thread files have been around for longer than I have, still useful in some cases when a threaded part is protruding from a machine you do not need to dismantle but it has to be the right pitch. I find a triangular needle file and eye glass has got me out of trouble many times.

Thank you very much for the commentary, because I have discovered it right now... ajjajaja the truth is that I had never seen it and I thought it might be interesting to show it on my YouTube channel, very interesting about the triangular file, greetings (translation)
