Thread Cleaner For Studs With Limited Space

Press fit, and Loctite 638 as a safety measure.

It would have been even better to insert the die into a thin walled socket to make it tool driven.

Here in the US, we have cheap sockets available and I have repurposed quite few to make special tools. I have found that the cheap sockets are usually a softer steel and easier to machine. Here, we have 1" diameter round dies and a 22m deep well socket could be bored to accept the die.
 
A clever and generic solution could be sold in many thousands ;)
 
Skin saver modification. The screw for ratcheting tools etc. is heavy duty and secured by Loctite 270. So this will do fine for small studs like M6 in this case. It is a genuine sign that boring work has been put on hold...​
