| No NOT an e-mail thread!  I just mentioned thread chasers in a previous post 
on shock bolts.  I was wondering if anyone else routinely uses thread chasers 
on old hardware.  I bought a nifty set of thread chasers from Sears 
(Craftsman) for about $50.  Has SAE and metric in a useful variety of sizes.  
They are handy to use on lug nuts, which tend to get buggered up.
Thread chasers look a lot like taps and dies, but aren't as sharp.  You still 
use them with cutting oil.  A very handy tool set to have if you do a lot of 
your own work.
