If you're not cutting threads and mostly just cleaning or repairing them, you need one of these . I have saved my bacon many times with this kit. I have an old Craftsman tap and die set I use to cut threads but use the restoring set more. If you try to clean threads with a tap or die, you can ruin them pretty quickly. Best to have both.
