   A thread restorer is a tool used to fix threads on nuts or bolts that have become damaged. One type of thread restorer is a thread restoring file or thread file. [1] There are other types of thread restoring tools as well, for example a chaser tap or chaser die. [2]

4. Drill bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit

   Screw extractors are essentially left-hand bits of specialized shape, used to remove common right-hand screws whose heads are broken or too damaged to allow a screwdriver tip to engage, making use of a screwdriver impossible. The extractor is pressed against the damaged head and rotated counter-clockwise and will tend to jam in the damaged head ...

5. Bolt (fastener) - Wikipedia

   Nuts and bolts were originally hand-crafted together, so that each nut matched its own bolt, but they were not interchangeable. This made it virtually impossible to replace lost or damaged fixers, as they were all different. Joseph Whitworth in 1841 proposed that a standard should be set, but it did not happen immediately.

6. Tap and die - Wikipedia

7. Multi-jackbolt tensioner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-jackbolt_tensioner

   Multi-jackbolt tensioners (MJTs), registered under the trademark Superbolt or Supernut, are designed to decrease the torque required to tighten large bolted joints. One of the major problems associated with traditional bolt tightening methods is as the diameter of the bolt increases, the amount of torque required to tighten it increases in the third power of the diameter.
