That's just cheeky, I have to admit having done it myself, but selling them singly, I hadn't thought of that, so now that the idea is out there does anyone need some thread chasers?
And yes Coventry die head is another common name for these.
Regards Rick

we live in Redditch just below Birmingham about 70 miles away from you judging by the map.
Its actually wiseman threading tools my wife works for and they do taps, dies, chasers, gauges and all sorts concerning threading. They do have a website http://www.threadtools.com/ but i believe they mainly supply to people who sell to end users (us)

I've been to Redditch, can't remember when , why or anything else except I've been there, When I lived in Central Milton Keynes, I used to go for drives on the weekend with Mrs Rick, scouting our adopted country, I figure it was then, or actually I think I might have bought my Trumph Nibbler from there in 2007.
And for once I can prove I have a Trumph (with photos), The US version was the "Pullmax" you'll see these on any of the discovery channel Hot Rod or chopper shows.

As bought, actually still in the sellers yard
Having had a little look at some maps I'd guess a hundred or so miles away, so by Australian standards we're neighbours
but on a serious note I think you are probably my closest forum member, I could be monumentally wrong there...Best Regards
