Great video Tony. I’d recommend anyone looking at these get the biggest set available. Usually 47 or 48 pieces. The ones in the lower 40’s take out metric sizes that most people need.
I got a USA Cmann set ions ago and it has held up well. A must have for cleaning up tapped holes in aluminum for as soft as it is. I use taps and dies so little I just buy the quality variety individually.
I have the Kastar / Lang 971. I would not suggest you buy the smaller 972 unless you are sure you do not need the missing sizes. For what I work on, the missing sizes were important and the price difference is minimal. I also have a tap and die set, so I hesitated for a few years on this, but wish I would have got it sooner. Use it more than I expected I would.
I have that same set,case is different now inside.Have used them on some reman waterpumps fixing threads quality control missed before being boxed up and shipped out
It's always good to see reviews of tools that look well used, rather than brand new ;-) I have a basic metric thread chaser kit, which is good as far as it goes, but it doesn't cover all sizes. I can't find an M10 x 1.0mm thread chaser anywhere!
Love the Mac set we have at my shop. Seems to hold up to use and abuse well. Only brand I've tried. Would be nice to have a 2 stage repair so the second run carves deeper for more damaged threads.
That 56pcs set looks sick! And it seems you've used them a lot! Btw, you can check out product, where ours can do inner, outer, inch, metric & pipe and you can use them on any thread pitch, no need to measure. Please let me know if you want to review it!
I have the snap on set which looks like the same thing but slightly different case. Question, where did you get that tekton banner, I would like the same one but the one listed on their website is all black no tools on it?
A retread kit is probably used more. Unless you do qlot of machining or actually need to create threads. But when doing repairs thread Repair kits are more commonly used. With that being said most just use the standard tap and die set to to it anyways
@@TonyTheTechnician good point I’ve been in the market for a rethread kit for work but haven’t been sure if to go the tap and die route or rethread route
I'm assuming it's just less aggressive, whereas a tap and die is too aggressive and could make the size bigger, a lot more room for error. Needing both is big money for the infrequent use of a tech. We have a good nut and bolt 🔩 store close by, for $100+ , I could just buy some nice new bolts (*edit, of course I want though 😂)

I find the thread files mostly useful for large diameters like axle shafts and spindles where dies are either hard to find or ruinously expensive.
Absolutely agreed with you

Absolutely same thoughts here. I wasnt sure I needed thread Repair when I had my tap and die set but so glad I got the thread Repair kit
I have that same set,case is different now inside.Have used them on some reman waterpumps fixing threads quality control missed before being boxed up and shipped out
Oh very nice. Hope you have enjoyed it.
I have,broke the 6mm rethreading tap once replaced under warranty
Look close to my snap on set. There life savers love them re thread kits
Absolutely 👍
Great video. I'm going to add these to my set of diy tools. Thanks!
Congrats on 25k subs tony! U deserve it , really enjoy your videos
Thank you I really appreciate it
Another informative look at tools. Thank you.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed
I have a small snap on set I got from my pap and it is the handiest tool I’ve ever had
Just bought the Lang kit 76.00 looks the same nice video 👍
Very nice. Thank you

Greetings from southern Ireland.. thanks for posting this video.its a great help
Thank you and I'm really glad you enjoyed.

I think you'd be fine to use a regular thread tap after the thread chaser if you wanted to dig deeper.
Us old people would call them thread chasers lol.good video
Lol indeed. Thank you
Great video. What’s the difference of the gold, silver and black sets?
Metric, sae, and thread pitch
should i use a bigger dimension on the threader tool?

I picked it up at the PRI show back in like 2017
Which would you recommend starting off? At work we deal with alot messed up up threads where the screw just spins?

@@TonyTheTechnician good point I’ve been in the market for a rethread kit for work but haven’t been sure if to go the tap and die route or rethread route
Would this kit be good for removing old dried locktite or teflon remnants from female threads?
Yes a thread chaser is great for removing material in threads or straightening damaged threads without removing material like a tap and die set
@@TonyTheTechnician great thank you!
good video. i use both sets.
Thank you
Well Tony, that was great. My impression is that if ya use a tap a die set to clean up threads, yer probably a Albanian.
Craftsman had a set back in the day
Yeah it’s the same as the Matco, Snap On, Mac, etc... all made by Lang.
Thank you very much…
Excellent
👍👍👍
No way I could go that long without drinking the whiskey.
Lol it is hard but once I get on a roll I can't stop
I should have bought one with my snap on student discount :( I’ll check on eBay for one at some point
Ya check out Lang. Great set to have and isn't priced terribly
👍🏻😈👍🏻🥃
👍🥃👍
