I cannot remember the exact name of the tool, but it's made to repair
internal threads that are damaged. Basically looks similar to a piston
ring expander with changeable dies that attach at the ends. Then all
you do is set the dies into the threads, squeeze the handle a bit to
give the dies some pressure to stay in the threads and spin the tool around.
