ARES 10111 M14 Back Tap Thread Repair Tool - Collapsible, Cylinder Safe

This tool saved alot of potential time,$,and problems. Worked great! Parts stores didn't even know what this tool was so I'm glad God sent me to discover it. Good quality, easy to use, cost effective.

Worked perfect! Saved my Edelbrocktop. Be careful and repeat the process several times.

I partially stripped the spark plug threads on one of the cylinders in my truck and thought it was going to be thousands of dollars to fix. I purchased this tool and received it in two days. I used the tools according to the directions and was able to clear the threads from the inside out. I put the new spark plug in and it threaded perfect. Great tool.

I recently bought a new Honda generator and was converting it to propane. In the process, I had to take out the spark plug to re-gap. While taking the plug out, I damaged the spark plug hole threads. Fearing I was going to have to use a tap and deal with shavings in my cylinder, or worse, replace the cylinder head, I was quite upset. Then, a buddy sent me a YouTube video of someone using this backtap. It had tons of good reviews, so I ordered one myself, and it worked just as advertised! Super easy to use and pulls out all the shavings with it! 10/10 saved my new generator!

I'm a mechanic at a used car lot, and we got a Sport-Trac from the car auction for peanuts because the engine ran poorly and the engine light was on. Sad to see, it looks like the previous owner was doing a tune up at home (judging by the spark plug gap gauge, and empty spark plug boxes still in the cupholder) and crossthreaded one spark plug to where it wouldn't even seal the cylinder anymore. Luckily he only got it about 3 threads in, and didn't strip them out, just smashed them out of shape. With this tool I repaired the hole in about 10 minutes total, and it runs like a champ again.

Fixed 2 threads on my 98 civic but the tool was too short. I had to use needle nose pliers to put it down the tube and tighten the screw. Once tightened I used 13mm to back it out. Then needle nose pliers to pull the tool out. But it works and my spark plugs goes in more smoother than before.

Great product did what it it was intended to do good price

What a great toll, worked as advertised. Saved me a lot of work.

Did the job on my 1981 Yamaha midnight maxim, the spark plug couldn’t go in and this tool did the job. It took 4-5 times to get it right.
