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.

[@klausgunther2979]

A good machinist still knows all the tricks!

[@dimitar4y]

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

[@HeavyMetalRuinedMyLife1971a]

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

[@Mainer1945]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@indridcold6165]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@hadidayapriatama6448]

Thank you very much. My inspiration is added

[@8kigana]

You are a dying breed sir, love your creativity.

[@dennisdziewit7360]

Now I learned a new repair today. Thank you

[@markramkhelawan1580]

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

[@Gippetos]

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

[@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

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

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

[@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!

[@yabessilvanus3934]

A

[@daluadavi]

Very good, a bright idea.....

[@DarkLurker_69]

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

[@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.

[@bullsnutsoz]

Very good limey!

[@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

[@BatMan-co1gy]

nice work, I like the antique end wrench

[@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!

[@bl0ckbust3r]

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

[@whocares457]

Amazing idea👌

[@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.

[@marlonsantos401]

Beautifull work Congratulations!

[@jean-yvesbeguec9944]

Practical and useful. Thanks.

[@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

[@usuariodegoogle8785]

Definitivamente I like it, thumbs up.

[@vyranlaise8356]

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

[@gadget348]

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

[@imwhatim7259]

Awesome idea 😀👌👌👌👌👌

[@kevykev38]

You made a thread chaser. They are sold everywhere

[@cokhichetao72]

[@ferben2114]

Amazing!

[@user-pr8ij8mh8h]

ВАУ ЭТО ПРОСТО ГЕНИАЛЬНО!

[@JanKowalski-ec2rj]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@MarioLover1256]

Super helpful!

[@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!

[@johnlydon3860]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@nishaljagessar1763]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@rjac001]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@dougjones4987]

Sir, your an amazing whistle builder.

I think it is very clever and could be useful.

[@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

[@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 !!

[@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.

[@onediy4562]

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

[@alediazbour2209]

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

[@juracibedelho927]

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

[@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.

[@alphasigmasezon8597]

Excelente,

[@alphasigmasezon8597]

muito obrigado.

[@Mimishu777]

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

[@graham2631]

nice idea simple like all good ones

[@thewhaahn466]

It was great.

[@manojkumarchavda65]

Brilliant idea, thanks.

[@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

[@antonioalmeida9581]

Very,very good my friend!!

[@mcvanstaden5608]

I love it

[@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 ?????

[@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.

[@Vinwelder]

While this really is a great idea for when your stuck in the position when u need it right away and can't buy the actual die, this is almost always going to be WAY too soft to last more then 1 or 2 uses, or sometimes to even work properly. I'd just hate to put all that work into making something like this just to have it fail to quickly! For that reason it is 100% worth hardening by heating the part up & very quickly quenching the hot part in oil. Obviously actual dies are extremely hardened because they're made for actually cutting new threads, not just correcting bad threads. But even as a thread restorer it really needs to be hardened. To those that don't have an oxy-acetylene torch if it's small enough a propane torch will heat it up enough for hardening if your very quick to quench it in oil when it's at it's max temp, but the larger your die the harder it is to get hot enough for this. So anything you can do to help hold the heat is only gonna help get it up to temp. I persoàZ fire proof/resistant, or if nothing else sometimes even surrounding as much of the part as you can with steel or aluminum (except where your heating with propane torch) can also make a big difference in getting parts up to a higher temp then you could ever get with just heating alone. Anyone actually considering making a forge or even a kiln should keep reading: definitely watch some of the vids here on KZbin as they're extremely simple to make & anyone can do it for very cheap! There are also tons of great forge ideas online, just search for making a gas forge. You can also make coal forges which are cheaper to run but are definitely not nearly as convenient as a gas forge, plus coal versions take more time to use for obvious reasons. Even making the smaller coffee can style forges/kilns are a very useful tool to have. Ive made 3 different sizes over the years for different purposes: the large coffee can size, 1 using a steel 5 gallon bucket for the basic frame, & 1 that I made using a large gas cylinder for the frame & made 2 burners for it so it gets hot enough for melting steel. They are all cheap to make even using all the black pipe fittings that 90% suggest here & online. There are also several different insulations u can use whether brick, wool style, or cement types. While it isn't the cheaper method the refractory cement is what I used for my better 2 that I've made & they last for many years this way...

[@mikecarr1145]

Vinwelder u making a book? 😱

[@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.

[@baldrickscunningplan6154]

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

[@ChasenGunzOutdoors]

Enjoyed the video keep up the good work

[@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!

[@michaelmckay1567]

very cool thanks and very good music to learn by

[@pedrotorrivilla644]

Very good

[@samirmenadjeh4730]

Thank you شكرًا

[@jblogs1000]

a bit long use a high tensile steel bolt or large grub screw and grind 3 slots done in 1/4 of the time

[@Turbo44mag]

That is a great video

[@adammorrow651]

If you just need to clean the thread then why go to all that trouble, just thread the nut onto the bolt, no need to cut channels into the bolt.

[@user-fs7tv3hh2y]

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