Glow Plug Re-Threading Kit with M10 x 1.0 and M8 x 1.0 Metric Taps

Brief Overview

Diesel engine glow plug threads fail regularly due to thermal cycling and corrosion—a common repair in any professional workshop. This re-threading kit equips your technicians to restore damaged threads efficiently, extending component life and avoiding costly engine head replacement. The complete set includes both metric tap sizes needed for diesel applications, precision drills, and specialized seating tools.

Whether you're handling routine maintenance or emergency roadside repairs, pair this kit with a glow plug extraction tool and glow plug connector pliers to create a complete glow plug service station.

Key Features

• Dual Metric Taps: M10 × 1.0 and M8 × 1.0 taps cover the majority of diesel engine applications
• Precision Drill Bits: Two 3.5mm titanium-coated twist drills for thread clearance and pilot hole work
• Seating Reamer: 6 × 3.5 × 40mm reamer designed for glow plug seat regeneration and proper seating alignment
• T-Handle Tap Wrench: Manual tap holder with extension bar for controlled, steady threading operations
• Extraction & Driver Sleeves: Black hardened steel sleeves for gripping and driving damaged plugs and threaded inserts
• Socket Adapters: Chrome-plated adapters for connecting to standard ratchets and power tools
• Organized Carry Case: Blue rigid plastic case with molded foam inserts keeps all components organized, protected, and field-ready

Business Advantages

High Shop Margin: Glow plug re-threading commands premium labor rates—technicians can turn a single job into 2–3 hours of billable time. This kit positions you as a full-service diesel specialist.

Essential Repeat Business: Diesel fleets and mobile services return regularly for glow plug maintenance. Stock this kit and you secure consistent revenue from warranty work, recalls, and preventive maintenance contracts.

Compact, Transportable: Rigid carrying case fits in service vans and mobile repair units. Your field technicians generate revenue on-site rather than towing vehicles to the shop.

Competitive Positioning: Shops without re-threading capability lose jobs to competitors. This kit is the difference between capturing high-margin diesel repair work and turning away customers.
