Yes i assumed this until I was able to thread the Alan key nut (dust cover) back into the spindle threads, so the threads must be ok.
It seems this tool rounds off with some people who have used it according to the reviews on amazon making it a one time use tool.
I doubt i will be continuing with it and might have to burn a hole in my pocket for a park tool brand
