It 'pencil sharpens' your bolts to remove that bit of buggered thread that stops the nut from going on. Even works on stainless steel (thumbs)

Cool bit of kit and if it was fifteen quid I might chuck one in the tool tray but for $65 + shipping and duty, I'll continue to use some finesse and a 4.5" angle grinder.

Re: Burr fixing tool, genius.
That is horrible. hmy:
Maybe for a dirty field fix etc but whats wrong with running a die down the bolt and doing it properly?
Not to mention you can buy a tap and die set good enough for cleaning threads occasionally for less than that price.

Re: Burr fixing tool, genius.
I'm with pete, looks good for a quick and dirty field fix when you just need to get a bolt back in. Ordinarily though I'd either use a file or die.
I've been know with smaller bolts to just but the bolt head in the drill chuck and use a file, that's how I clean things like slider pins as well if I cant use a lathe :whistle:
