Threading tool AWTools AW20206 — compact hand threading tool, weight 20 g

AWTools AW20206 is a compact hand threading tool designed for cutting and repairing external right-hand metric threads on small workpieces. Made of HSS M2 high speed steel with a hardness of 65° HRC (±1°), the tool is intended for manual use where a lightweight, portable instrument is required. The unit cuts the thread in one pass and comes supplied in a plastic case for storage and transport.

Advantages

The solid HSS M2 construction provides wear resistance and consistent cutting performance for light workshop and maintenance tasks. At approximately 20 g, the tool is easy to handle and reduces user fatigue during repetitive manual threading operations. Its ability to form a complete metric right-hand external thread in a single pass speeds up simple repair and hobby applications. The included plastic case protects the tool and simplifies storage.

Suitable for

• Repairing damaged external threads on small metal parts
• Manual thread cutting on hobby and DIY projects
• Light maintenance and workshop tasks requiring portable tools
• On‑site repairs where compact, low‑weight tools are preferred

How to use

Secure the workpiece so it cannot move, then align the tool with the existing thread or the intended thread start. Apply steady manual pressure and rotate the tool clockwise to cut a right-hand metric thread in one pass, ensuring the tool remains perpendicular to the workpiece axis. Withdraw the tool carefully after the cut to avoid damage to the new thread. Use appropriate cutting fluid on metal workpieces to improve chip evacuation and prolong tool life.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool for light-duty manual threading and repair tasks on small parts. Avoid high‑speed or power-driven use; maintain cutting edge condition by cleaning and applying light oil before storage. Select appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded and inspect threads after cutting for fit and quality.
