Lisle 12180 Soot Sensor Thread Chaser M22 x 1.5

Really strong cutting steel. With this tool I was able to restore the thread of the bung, holding the o2 sensor of a 30-year old exhaust pipe. The thread of the sensor was welded to the thread of the bung. With it and the proper cutting fluid, and 1/4 forward and back, tighten-release movements, I was able to restore the the full thread on 80%, enough to tighten the new sensor in. I am looking forward on buying other Lisle tools - they are historically proven as strong and reliable.

Lisle is always good quality. Works as it should and Lisle has a decent warranty

Great quality arrived on time

I bought this to chase AIR injection port threads in one of the steel tubular exhaust manifolds on a 1986 Chevy. They are also M22 x 1.5. The only issue I had is the pilot on the end of the tool prevents it from threading into the manifold all the way before bottoming out(not a problem if using it for it's intended use). I chose to face it off in my lathe. Also, as with all cutting tools use a good quality cutting oil. Ridgid Nu-Clear is my go-to. These will also work on Cummins oil pans that use a M22 x 1.5 drain plug.

Works great

I bought this to try to restore the threads when I took the particle matter sensor out of my Ford 6.7 diesel exhaust. It would’ve worked great if I hadn’t messed up my threads so bad it would work great for cleaning up threads but the stainless seem to be too hard to restore threads that were badly damaged, but I would buy it again for the next time

Right threads for 24mm PM sensor on freightliner cascadia

Great for replacing soot sensors, they are always a pain. If your lucky and get it out without pulling all the threads or just breaking the bung off then you need this tool.

Good

Would like to send back. Came up as a tool for the socket I bought for my box sensor. Pleas send me a return decal.

Liked the quality

When removing a stubborn vaporizer nozzle from a transit Dpf, it damaged most of the threads. With this tread chaser I was able to restore the threads and avoid a costly Dpf replacement. Tool arrived faster than a replacement filter would have. Must have tool when working with newer diesel engines.

I especially use this for cleaning up axle nut threads. On axles that measure 22 mm x 1.5 mm. I run this thread chaser through the axle nut just to make sure that there’s no defects. Now I am less likely for the axle not to pile up and cross thread on the axle shaft.
