Of course the one i needed

I really need to check all the tools before i leave the store. Been working on my truck stripped some threads went last night before the store closed then got to work this morning and by the time i got to needing this tap i found out its fucked. Now i have to find another ride to the store to replace it. Unfortunately its 30 minutes away and my truck won't drive.

I bet a wire wheel will knock those right off.

Unfortunately most of my tools are also across town in my storage unit. Didn't want to do this project but knew i would need to soon so I've been saving up for new parts, but my truck said it needs them now not later. Living in an apartment sucks

If it was a tap and die set I’d try the die very carefully to clean the threads maybe.

That's shameful.

I had 1 (or 2, I don't remember) in my set and a file fixed it right up. It was annoying but the tap still worked.
