Century Drill Tool 92942 Thread Restoring File 9-32 Tpi

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 92942 is a thread restoring file designed to rehabilitate damaged external threads on fasteners and pipe fittings. It covers a range of 9, 10, 12, 16, 20, 27, 28, and 32 threads per inch (TPI), making it useful across a wide variety of standard thread pitches. The file features an oxide coating to resist corrosion during storage and use. Each package contains 2 files. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and electricians reach for this tool when a bolt, stud, or pipe fitting has been bent, rusted, or cross-threaded and a die or tap is not practical on the job.

This file is suited for field and shop use on screws, bolts, studs, pipe, and pipe fittings where threads need to be cleaned up or partially restored without full re-threading. It also functions as a pitch gauge to identify thread count before selecting a tap, die, or fitting. Trades working on aging mechanical systems, corroded piping, or previously overtightened fasteners will find this a practical addition to a basic hand-tool kit.

Installation Notes

Thread restoring files are a hand tool and require no power or special equipment. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when working with file tools. Secure the workpiece before filing to avoid slippage and ensure even contact along the thread profile. Power down or de-energize any system before working on fasteners connected to live mechanical or electrical components.
