This special infinitely variable rethreading tool enables fast and cost-saving reforming of damaged threads on wheel studs and wheel bolts, directly on the vehicle.
Time-consuming and costly axle replacements, for example as a consequence of a defective axle thread can thus be avoided.
In this process, the thread is formed back to its original geometry by rolling (forming, pressing, shaping), without cutting.
As a result, the strength of the thread is fully retained, and, in addition, the surface is compacted again.
Unlike thread cutting or filing, no material is removed and the thread maintains the dynamic load capacity which is up to 2 times higher, even after the repair.
Additional thread rolling sets, which are available as accessories, make this thread forming tool to be one of the most universal on the market.
