AMAZING HOME MADE INVENTIONS YOU NEED TO SEE 2018

A thread restorer is a tool used to fix threads on nuts or bolts that have become damaged.
Hi, im a Pensioner . Apart from my work i like DIY stuff, lifehacks, how to make, experiments, well everything that can be made by hand in a home enviorment. This channel " Rough Hands and Unusual Ideas " about new and old ideas that you might have known . This channel is a HACK COLLECTION. It’s an entartainment oriented channel, so do not try to repeat at home everything you see, as it might be dangerous. So take care of your health.

Guys who downvoted.... It's a thread RESTORER. Used to poilish up or correct imperfections on an existing internal or external thread. It is not intended to replace a Tap or Die which are used to create the thread, just to clean up an existing one! I've been an engineer twenty years now, and this is one of those useful tips that the older guys used to pass onto us as apprentices. Thumbs up from me!

[@warrenosborne6044]

I'm restoring an old tractor, and in the process I learned the difference between taps and die's and a thread chaser. Damn, now I know how to make one.

[@paulstuartwilson485]

Very cool and inexpensive hack to renew damaged threads. To those of you who are thinking of this as a tap, it is not. It is a tried and true way of repairing damaged threads. Great video.

[@dimitar4y]

Little gems like this are so simple and yet... So smart and effective.

[@klausgunther2979]

A good machinist still knows all the tricks!

[@Mainer1945]

I am a machinist all my life. Now 73. I never saw this done before. Much appreciated.

[@HeavyMetalRuinedMyLife1971a]

Now...Those are the hands of a real Workin Man 😁

[@masterofnonetv8361]

Great idea! I have a "master" thread restore kit and it's missing a couple sizes, now I can make ones to add to it!!

[@batrastardly4574]

Clever and cheap. No need for hardened steel just to chase out threads, however a little oil would probably help. Thanks for the vid and I hope you keep them coming.

[@daveeagle2721]

Great video. I have noticed a lot of comments about it being too soft and not hardened. HE plainly stated it's to restore the thread. A hardened male or female tap would cut distorted or bent threads off, but a softer assembly such as the one he made would reorient the threads into their intended pitch. The addendum of the thread is what would need reoriented. As for the heat not all bolts harden in tensile to a simple heat and quench. Granted, the bolts in this video are not stainless hence the rust they may or may not harden in that fashion since they may be of the wrong carbon content. What this man has done is demonstrate on old machinist technique, and he should be applauded for trying to keep these techniques alive. There are very few people that know how to do this. Cheers.

[@ronaldnorman8786]

Took a sec to figure it out but it's one of them late night fix ideas. That could decide weather you have to work Saturday night.

[@trubblesiriahrenn751]

Very Old idea, I'm glad to see someone teaching old school machining. we did this 50 yrs ago in Hickory Ridge Machine Shop Blacksburg, Va. Trubble W

[@indridcold6165]

Very informative and useful trick... but I think his dad teaching him the trick was the best part of the video.

[@alanturner9609]

That is quite good, I have done it myself. I heated them up and dropped them in water which hardened them a bit and it made them a bit more efficient.

[@yabessilvanus3934]

A!

[@markramkhelawan1580]

Good on you old boy! Learned something new and costs next to nothing. Please share more!

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Very good. That cylinder head bolt would harden and temper perfectly. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@TaylerMade]

these home made tap and dies are ideal for us woodworkers who may need to add a thread into wood. i make them all the time when i need a specific bolt hole. and to the trolls out there threading a piece of wood and inserting a bolt is extremely solid.

[@8kigana]

You are a dying breed sir, love your creativity.

[@dennisdziewit7360]

Now I learned a new repair today. Thank you

[@tommo033]

Please don't bait people with the word "invention" in the description. This is a good idea for those that don't want to buy a die nut or tap, but to call it an invention is stretching it a bit.

[@ianstevens8295]

Really smart idea that mate, I'm going to try this one out for myself and also do a heat treatment on it as suggested here in the comments. Thanks folks hopefully it'll work out!

[@r1-ing]

First time I have come across this idea. Well Done! Don't know if I will get around to making one but I use a lot of 1/2"-13 nuts and bolts that always have a tight spot or too. I either just go with it because sometime the time to clamp and properly turn a die might seem like a chore. I do some off site assembly and this would be quick way to chase a bad nut or screw if extra weren't around. If it is effective. That is why I am curious to drill three holes and find out!

[@beachbum4691]

Certainly the metal will be soft; but remember you aren't cutting a thread, you are merely re-establishing what is probably a slightly damaged or rusted thread.

[@Gippetos]

Nice. :) Handy little trick to add to the repertoire.

[@gadget348]

As soon as my wife is finished with the kitchen drill press and vice I'll try this home made invention!

[@mauriziopescatori4606]

When you drill into the nuts and bolt, you should have sprinkled a little water to protect the drill tip from overheating. When you run the homemade "threader bolt" through the bad nut you shlould spray a little oil to avoid damaging the good threads; similarly with the threader nuts on a bad bolt. Good job.

[@vyranlaise8356]

Thank you that was great. I know, I can use that from time to time. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@nishaljagessar1763]

Brilliant idea who would ever think of something like that I'm amazed 😮

[@hadidayapriatama6448]

Thank you very much. My inspiration is added

[@BatMan-co1gy]

nice work, I like the antique end wrench

[@DarkLurker_69]

Thanks for sharing the video. Keep up the good work.

[@ToddtheExploder]

It’s called a tap and die set, and is typically made from hardened tool steel which is much, much tougher material than the vast majority of threaded fasteners.

[@FlintF]

It's a rubbish idea if we're talking metric or another readily available type of thread. It's a fantastic idea if we're talking more exotic threads; so yep: thumbs up!

[@alediazbour2209]

Muchas Gracias, muy buen trabajo!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!

[@D-375A-1]

You can manufacture a thread restorer in 30 seconds, just by using a grade 8, low-alloy steel, high-tensile bolt, and a 100mm angle grinder, with a thin disc fitted! I've been doing this for over 50 years! In addition, by heating the end of the bolt when cutting slots with the angle grinder, and then letting it air-cool, it hardens the grade 8 bolt appreciably.

[@cokhichetao72]

very...Verry good ! bạn quá giỏi...Xứng đáng làm thầy dạy cho tôi.ước gì tôi có được 1 người thầy giống như bạn !

[@AlekseyCamodelkin]

Author Self-perfection Handsome man of his craft. That's the idea. I have a lot of work at work, now I definitely try to make a left tap on M 16 x 2

[@mjasz4341]

Kinda cool custom chaser build, now I know how it I ever need a thread chaser that I can't find in stores

[@JanKowalski-ec2rj]

Great idea and simple at the same time which is all it takes

[@steveripley2567]

I saved myself a lot of time and went and bought a tap and die set with chasers at the hardware store. Easy peasy

[@daveandersonangry]

I believe this tool is more for cleaning up old damaged threads rather than making complete new threads it still a good idea though

[@jonathancolling2284]

Very good except when the thread is damaged on a nut or bolt of a higher hardness rating. Then it will re-tap your tool with its damaged thread profile - hence manufactured a tap and die set is high carbon steel

[@twigletts8433]

Love amazing use of simple tools that do a sweet job add a voice to you videos be nice to hear your inspirations and method and why said method love to hear people talk about why this way and not that being a production engineer my self

[@kleinjahr]

Not a bad idea. Now you need to harden them, carburize with sugar perhaps. If I don't have the proper tap to clean a bolt hole I just cut the "flutes" with a small zip cut.

[@baldrickscunningplan6154]

Very clever. We use tap and dies all the time but do you ever think how they are made? Now we know.

[@rjac001]

You could add a little cutting oil when restoring the threads, everything is better with a little lube

[@jean-yvesbeguec9944]

Practical and useful. Thanks.

[@JLH1956]

So Cool! You just taught me how to make my own tap and dies. I know those who invented this probably think nothing much, but I now see how I can make my own with nuts and bolts. I learned something important today... Thank You So Much !!

[@therealzilch]

I'm an instrumentmaker who makes a lot of his own tools, including taps and dies. Great idea about cutting the channels with a drill bit. Keep up the good work- and thanks.

[@adamsmith2719]

Молодец! If a large diameter bolt is used a wooden bolt and nut can be cut, which is much more interesting as die ant taps for those are quite expensive. For general size small dia metal bolts and nuts one can relatively easily find cheap taps and dies.

[@slimchancetoo]

Difficult to get the nut/bolt assembly perfectly aligned with drill bit I think. Maybe I am wrong ?? Maybe there is a quick and easy method of achieving this perfect alignment ?????

[@Leonardokite]

I like to use WD-40 and a drill driver. Zip it in til' it stops, zip it out and repeat. Everytime it goes deeper and further polishes the threads. The WD-40 makes it easier and help remove crud. Certainly a great way to roll your own.....good idea!

[@usuariodegoogle8785]

Definitivamente I like it, thumbs up.

[@dougjones4987]

Sir, your an amazing whistle builder.

[@marlonsantos401]

Beautifull work Congratulations!

Wow! Bolt's thinking was really creative and cool.

[@manjunathswamy2270]

Sir, amazing video, you have reduced my bills on fasteners by nearly 75%.

[@luismorales4617]

Nice approach. But what really caught my attention was that first huge vise. I wonder where can get one of those.......!?!?!

[@daluadavi]

Very good, a bright idea.....

[@Belial46]

Quite nice idea, but made from an usual screw it will be useless - you have to use a really hard steel if you want it to restore more than 3-5 nuts

[@mikeriley8546]

sir this videpo is freaking awesome!!!! thanks so much for teaching all of us this skill

[@RichardFoleher]

Great idea, saves me buy a tap and die set. I suppose you could use the same principle to create the threads?

[@bl0ckbust3r]

great old school trick - thanks for sharing! could have saved me a few times before of buying a special thread cutter

[@stirlingandroboticsbrasil1172]

Muito bom amigo ....Só fazer a tempera do aço para aumentar a dureza!

[@samirmenadjeh4730]

Thank you شكرًا

[@Elldeeve]

Thats ace, it must be similar to how they make the tap and die sets you can buy.

[@kevykev38]

You made a thread chaser. They are sold everywhere

[@juracibedelho927]

Very good job!... Congratulations, teacher ...

[@Yochapre]

Tengo muchas ideas donde puedo usar esto, tengo que hacerlo urgente, gracias por mostrarnoslo.

[@marianosalimbene8920]

it could be useful but you should do a thermally tempered to keep the iron more strong. otherwise the tools it can not work properly

[@djluis6568]

You can if it is not a problem to tell me what type of wicks you use measures of the two I hope for your help thanks.

[@леонидмихайлов-з5н]

Просто КЛАСС , (раньше пилил болт и гайку на 4 части).

[@pedrovanius2025]

Hello,thank’s from 🇧🇷 !! 👍🏻

[@daithinolanskl1977]

Just subbed, as a fitter employed by the worst funded dept in the govt who never has the tools he needs, you've got some great stop gap ideas.

[@alarychristophe7627]

Excellent merci pour les astuce.

[@zyroxol]

Bonjour à tous, quel astuce svp? Filière et taraud cela existe, non? Je ne vois pas l'intérêt d'un tel objet et encore moins les < super, génial, cool, incroyable> qui suivent. Bonne journée.

I think it is very clever and could be useful.

[@jungojerry1658]

Not to downgrade this video, because its a great example of making do with what you have, but in my last job before I retired, I would just walk over to the tool crib and get a thread chaser or die. LOL

[@mickerdoodle51]

Yes, it does look like a tap and dye, but are they hard enough to use? not being tool steel?

[@general5104]

Kewl idea. Make your own tap and die. Put a torch to them and drop them in oil to harden them some, so they won't use up, real fast. Greatbidea! Thanks so much for taking the time to make the vid!!!

[@johnlydon3860]

hi everybody just look and study his hands years off knolage and hard work

[@mirtahartung8623]

A mi me tocaba repasar las roscas cuando ayudaba a mi papá. Me hizo acordar a el y sus inventos

[@Mimishu777]

Чтобы почистить гайку достаточно сделать болгаркой 2 пропила вдоль болта, а чтоб почистить болт достаточно поработать щёткой.

[@jjkurosan]

better if you weld two round stocks like a sort of handle for more practical use...clever work anyways :)

[@MarioLover1256]

Super helpful!

[@mookyzook]

so basically you've made a tap and die out of mild steel that will wear out after cleaning a few threads in the same material. You can buy a set of taps and dies made of tool steel for a few pounds and they will stay sharp after cleaning up lots of threads. Seems a bit complicated for little reward.

[@piotrstaniek3893]

Good god, and I almost thought it's a DIY threading machine :) Might be useful anyway, Thank You.

[@renoszervopoulos3134]

Have you tried to use 12.9 screw in order to last longer?just a thought... nice and tricky idea.thumbs up

[@michaelmckay1567]

very cool thanks and very good music to learn by

[@larslarsen8010]

Good for dents, any other time try a new bolt and nut. A steel brush do a good job too if it's a rust/grit remover you want.

[@carsten.hamburg8771]

Really great idea, thanks for sharing! Is it an option to harden the "tools" afterwards? Heating and oilbath?

[@RoughHandsandUnusualIdeas]

I not tried. but. I think it's possible.

[@bennockley]

Onya!!!!, Mate brilliant idea. Thanks for Your vid, Good job and once again, Thanks also enjoyed background music

[@josephdupont]

You should heat all of the pieces you made to cherry red and then dump them in oil to harden them... it might improve your product..

[@Vinwelder]

Joseph DuPont was thinking the exact same thing as it would 100% improve how well this tool would work as most nuts aren't hard enough for such a thing, even structural grade nuts...

[@rickjaf]

Cid Waters . Yes I have a case hardening powder that gets sprinkled on in the heating processes, It is very old, I will look at the label and post. It worked good in the past even on mild steel.

[@josephdupont]

I think I've heard that... thanks for the update

[@СергейХрапов-ю9ш]

ВАУ ЭТО ПРОСТО ГЕНИАЛЬНО!

[@NegG1919]

it's not a tap and die set. it is a drilled bolt and nut set. Sure there is relief for the shaving but the threads themselves are not cut the same.

[@Robocoppat]

Great idea if you're ever in a jam and don't have the right size thread. 2 THUMBS UP

[@xxxyyy7252]

Exactly, haters/trolls don't get it, that this is a "thread chaser", not tap and die!

[@imwhatim7259]

Awesome idea 😀👌👌👌👌👌

[@sugarplum4128]

What is the first bit you used? Is is available to be purchased locally?

[@dirkl.690]

sehr gut! im Bedarfsfall tuts oft aber auch schon eine Eisensäge und ne 3 oder 4kant Feile einfach bissel schräg ins Gewinde sägen etwa 3-4mm tief je nach Schraubendurchmesser dann mit der 3-4Kant Feile kräftig ausfeilen und dann kann man so die Schraube oder Mutter zum nachschneiden des Gewindes nutzen und das auch im Notfall beim Wochenend/Horror/Panik schrauben :-)
