    Nope it doesn't but on the positive side your teeth would never get stuck or grind.

    But Seriously these are the kind of brushes I like to use they are all purpose and at $.13 cents a piece how can you go wrong.

    I'm dealing with a pile of scratch and dent parts so there are a lot of "interesting" thread issues.

    If I were to run down and grab some tap/die sets does anyone know the thread info?

    Olternatly I can just use the brute force "Oil em up and lighten and loosen em until they co-operate" which is not the ideal approach :)

    Yikes, just looked up thread files and somehow they look harder to deal with than just rethreading the thing :)

    I'll read up more though.

    I think you think it's more then what it actually is. what I used was just a little thing that had the exact same thread per inch and pitch. and just used it to straighted out some threads. not real hard.

    Edit: found what I was talking about.

    Any tips or ideas for loose threads? Everytime I even lightly duel my blade holder comes loose from the ribbed section, and or the ribbed section comes loose from the center section.

    i am going to use the blue locktite. its not permanent, but will hold and allow it to be broke loose when needed.

    one other option i thought of is to use teflon tape like on pipe threads.

    a couple wraps of that, on the threads would make it stay tighter, and might not loosen up until you want it to.

    either way you choose, either should work.

    i will try the tape first, then the blue loktite stuff.
