I had a 18 mm spark plug helicoil that had a tiny tip that broke off (fatigue failure I believe). I couldn’t get the spark plug to start threading no matter what I did. A fellow A & P had this item, I borrowed it & GENTLY chased the threads with it. Viola, spark plug threaded first try. I haven’t used the one I purchased yet but it is the same item my buddy bought. Works way better than the Champion spark plug chaser. Good for cleaning up threads but improperly used could also cross thread & damage them.

I purchased this for cleaning the threads on a 3D printed spark plug caddy and it works fine for that and is much cheaper than an M18x1.5 tap. The description said it fit a 13/16 socket but it actually fits a 3/4 socket.

Q: I am curious about what happens to the debris that this tool removes from the threads? On the bottom plug threads, gravity would help keep it from falling into the cylinder but the top seems as if the debris would fall inside pretty easily. What method is or can be used to keep this from happening?

The ATS 20200 Thread Chaser is intended to straighten out deformed threads without cutting. The "without cutting" part is very important as this tool is not a tap -- it is not intended to cut metal, but to reshape the threads and clean out residue such as carbon and dirt. The usual technique is to cover the threads of the tool with a layer of grease prior to using it so that the grease will capture the dirt and debris as it cleans up the threads.
