But really, how many times is one going to use such a tool? Add in shipping on the cheap tool and you're probably close to what it would cost to have a shop chase the threads clean and face the outer edge.
No need to be snide, I had a minute to post and just wanted the OP to see what the tool looked like. I believe I DID say it was just an example and that they might find it cheaper somewhere. People can do their own research and shopping.
