Product Information
Full details
This Laser Tools NOx Sensor Thread Chaser (Part No. 9007) is designed for automotive technicians working on DAF and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, specifically for cleaning threads on NOx sensors. Its key benefit is restoring damaged or dirty M20 x 1.5 threads quickly and efficiently, ensuring a proper seal. A potential caveat is that it's specialized for a single thread size, requiring other tools for different applications. The tool is manufactured from durable TiN-coated chrome molybdenum and features flutes to capture debris.

FAQs
What vehicles is this thread chaser compatible with?
This specific model (9007) is designed for M20 x 1.5 threads, commonly found on DAF and Mercedes-Benz NOx sensors. Other sizes are available for different applications.
Why should I use axle grease with this tool?
Axle grease acts as a lubricant, reducing friction during use, and crucially, it helps to trap any metal shavings or debris removed from the threads, preventing them from contaminating the engine components.
How do I clean the thread chaser after use?
After use, clean the tool thoroughly by removing all grease and metal debris from the flutes. A brush and a suitable solvent can be used for cleaning. Store in a dry place.
What is the purpose of the TiN coating?
The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating provides a harder surface, increasing the tool's wear resistance and durability, allowing it to cut and clean threads more effectively over time.
What happens if the threads are severely damaged?
While this chaser can repair minor damage and clean dirty threads, severely damaged or cross-threaded holes might require more intensive repair methods or professional intervention.
Can this chaser be used on other thread sizes?
No, this specific model (9007) is precisely for M20 x 1.5 threads. Laser Tools offers other part numbers for different thread sizes.
Troubleshooting
Chaser feels too tight or binds up.
Ensure sufficient axle grease is applied. Back the chaser out slowly to clear debris from the flutes. The thread may be severely damaged, requiring professional assessment.
Debris not being captured in flutes.
Ensure adequate axle grease is applied. Check that the flutes are clear before and during use. The damage might be minimal, producing very little material.
Chaser not effectively cleaning threads.
Verify you are using the correct thread size (M20 x 1.5). Ensure consistent, steady pressure and rotation. The threads may be too heavily damaged for a chaser alone.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Specifically designed for common DAF/Mercedes-Benz NOx sensor threads.
- Durable TiN-coated chrome molybdenum construction.
- Fluted design helps collect debris.
- Efficiently cleans and restores damaged threads.
- Part of a larger range of thread chasers for different sizes.
Cons
- Limited to a single thread size (M20 x 1.5).
- Requires a separate tool for other thread sizes.
- Effectiveness depends on the severity of thread damage.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility:
- This tool is specifically designed for M20 x 1.5 threads.
- Primary applications include DAF and Mercedes-Benz NOx sensor ports.
- Other thread sizes are available under different part numbers (e.g., 9003 for M12 x 1.25, 9008 for M22 x 1.5).
Setup & Use:
- Before use, apply a small amount of axle grease to the cutting flutes of the thread chaser. This helps lubricate the cutting action and captures any removed metal debris.
- Gently insert the chaser into the threaded hole and turn it clockwise.
- If significant resistance is felt, do not force the tool. Back it out slightly to clear any packed debris from the flutes, reapply grease if necessary, and continue.
Care:
- After each use, thoroughly clean the thread chaser by removing all grease and debris from the flutes. A small brush and solvent can be used if needed.
- Store the tool in a clean, dry place to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect the tool regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
