    Tap and die thread

    This is what i have as an extra bit set, don't use it a ton but when you do it's paid for. Haven't messed them up yet, but again i don't use it a ton or anything. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VUR6CE/ref=psdcmw_2445469011_t2_B000NPUJYE

    They are brutally effective. I have an old school one where you hit the end too, it's a smaller one and works great for screws, so you don't strip the head out when removing them.

    It's all simply stuff I've had to learn too. Iirc we once talked about rivets actually being stronger, but they switched to bolts for the engineering control. This is exactly what led up to that, the clamping pressure of the bolts, the materials used to prevent galling when torquing (the actual...

    Because it has far worse consequences if they come loose. Their engineers chose that for the design. The torquing action is what generates the heat. Basically the only thing you ever use oil on the threads is on hydraulic fittings, and you simply use hydraulic oil. The long story short is that...

    Never sieze is incredible stuff, has many many uses. Keeps gaskets from sticking, works about as well as pipe dope on threads, seals pipe unions, keeps weld berries from sticking to threads.

    Alrighty, this is why you guys keep me around lol. We tell apprentices that their entire pension is invested in never sieze, use it accordingly. It does two things: it lubricates the threads ensuring consistent friction for torquing purposes, and it prevents galling, which causes the threads to...
