Scott:

What method do you use to clean threaded fasteners?

Taps and dies always work. But on a recent episode of "Gearz" on SpeedTV, Stacey David talked about how using a cutting tool, like a tap or die, will wear the thread if you use it for this purpose. He showed a thread cleaning kit made just for just such a purpose. Each tool in the kit looked like a tap or die, but they're designed to preserve the threads and not wear them. Never knew they existed 'till he showed them. Here, take a look: http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/JEGS-Thread-Chasing-Tap-Set/751008/10002/-1
