Premier Pits is launching Thread Saver, a new tool range for repairing damaged axle threads and wheel studs, 100% manufactured in the EU by Silbertool Solutions.

Thread repair tools have been in the market for many years, however tools like Thread Cutting Dies and other products remove material during the process and weaken the thread.

Thread Saver is a precision-engineered tool designed to reform threads instead of cutting, allowing for efficient repair without losing any material during the process. By retaining the material, the thread maintains its strength and can withstand a consistent load capacity after restoration.

Premier Pits say Thread Saver has been rigorously tested. The Material Testing Institute Hannover (MPA) has proven that threads repaired with Thread Saver were able to withstand the same static and dynamic loads as a new undamaged thread. They even had a higher fatigue endurance limit.

Thread Saver is designed to make the workshop more efficient, with savings in time and money. The initial cost when purchasing Thread Saver is paid back quickly by removing the need to send axles away for repair and studs being replaced, while time is saved by not having to strip down the hub, with stud repairs in as little as 31 seconds.

Thread Saver comes in kit form, complete with the Thread Saver XR-120 for axles (with 1.5mm and 1.5mm LH, 2.0mm and 12 TPI roller sets), and the X-Nut XL for use on wheel studs.

Key Features:

• Durable construction: Made from premium-grade Stainless Steel that is vacuum hardened and tempered to 58 HRC in hydrogen atmosphere. This process not only guarantees low wear, but also high ductility. The Thread Saver is built to withstand rigorous use and provide long-lasting durability.
• Precision engineering: Each tool is meticulously crafted to deliver precise, accurate thread repair, restoring threads to their original specifications.
• Versatile application: Suitable for use on a wide range of thread types and sizes, including metric and imperial standards, making them ideal for the Commercial Vehicle and PSV industries.
• User-friendly design: The ergonomic design ensures ease of use, allowing both professionals and DIY enthusiasts to achieve perfect results with minimal effort.
• Portable and compact: Lightweight and compact, these tools are easy to transport and store, making them a convenient addition to any toolbox or workshop.
