Powerbuilt 12mm Back Tap Spark Plug Thread Repair Tool - 641148

It’s every mechanic’s worst nightmare - a cross-threaded spark plug hole. Now there’s a better way to fix the problem – the Back -Tap™12mm thread cutting and restoring tool from Powerbuilt Tools.

The Back-Tap's patented collapsible design allows it to be placed all the way through the bore or spark plug hole. A mandrel is then drawn back, expanding the tool's threaded area and threading into the clean threads at the bottom of the bore. The Back-Tap repairs the damaged threads as it is drawn up through the bore, bringing debris and metal filings with it. Voila! A cleanly threaded bore immediately followed by a sigh of relief!
