Draper do them as well,both they and Sealey import them,probably from China.
I used an old spark plug with four slots cut in it with a hacksaw and the threads on the end tapered down with a file to clean up a damaged thread some while back. The slots were packed with grease to trap the swarf. I found it worked well. _________________ Thirty years selling imperial hand tools for old machinery(Now happily retired). |

I have both sizes and have used them a number of times.
They work excellently as you fit them in through the hole, expand and then unscrew withdrawing any swarf with it.
It seems to pick up the 'good thread' on the inside more easily too.
