This thing Cuts It - thread by thread By Gio from Central Virginia on 5/29/2009 Professional "Worked great right out of the packaging on non-standard threads of an antique bed frame bolt held in a vise (I bought it just for that bolt and it lived up to the hype)- sized comfortably for a man's hand, performed smoothly during the repair, and it delivered great results even under the scrutiny of a magnifying glass. Also easy to use on machinery repairs, or bike repairs for example. And replacement cutters are supposed to be available too."
