Yeah i managed to destroy the threads for my sparkplug on my snowblower. Couldn't screw it in anymore!
With this magical tool, i completely recreated a new thread that is made of steel instead of aluminium, which will not be easily destroyed by a steel sparkplug (which all sparkplugs thread seems to be).
I can understand that aluminium is better for heat but it is very easy to strip the threads on the carburator with a steel sparkplug. Doesn't even have to force it that much to do it! Designed failure at it's best my friend.
I've used my snowblower twice now and it starts without any problems and it did not explode yet (keeps fingers crossed! ;-)
The repair was easy even for a doofuss like me. I am NOT good at doing manual stuff and mechanic is my worse talent, so if i can do it easily, you can bet it is THAT easy to do! Very impressed.
Took all of 10-15 minutes to do the whole job.
The instructions were very clear.
Would recommend.
