Sam’s Club Grill: A Thread Repair Success Story

A fantastic damaged thread repair scenario occurred this week. A customer named Dave took home this Sam’s Club grill, fresh off of a Black Friday Sale that he got a sweet deal from.

As soon as he started to open the box, panic set in. He realized that the packaging was damaged. The box looks like it got a serious beating at the warehouse. Dave wished he saw this sooner, but it was too late now and all he could do is hope that nothing was damaged on the inside. We all know what comes next. As soon as he pulled everything from the box, he discovered that the threads on the burn plate had weld slag on it. Not only that, some of the threads were completely flattened and mangled. This prevented the wing nut from going on, which meant that his brand spankin’ new Black Friday deeply discounted grill could not be assembled. What a sweet deal alright! Frustrated, he could only think of the next best course of action.

“I can’t assemble this freaking thing. Now I gotta go back to Sam’s Club and get this sorted!” 

Then Dave remembered, “Wait a minute, how about I try to fix it with Rotary Thread?” He took out his RTK1.1 Thread Starter Kit and attached it on his Dremel for full control of the restoration. He applied lubricant on the bolt and, using light tool pressure, started chasing the weld spattered thread back into shape.

Taking the product back would have been a major inconvenience. To add insult to injury, the packaging was badly damaged and it was difficult to get the entire grill back inside without further damaging the packaging. Rotary Thread stepped in, removed the weld slag and repaired the threads back to working order in seconds. 

“Good as new. Wait, this IS a new grill! Thanks Rotary Thread!”

Rotary Thread saved this customer from so much headache, gas, and time that he decided to contact our office and let us know.

“The last thing I wanted to do was to drive back over to Sam’s and get this grill replaced. Here I am so excited about using this grill and as soon as I get home, I see that it’s all messed up. I really thought I’d have to drive back over there and deal with the entire process of either getting a refund or having it replaced. It’s so inconvenient, not to mention that it’s Black Friday, the place is absolutely packed right now. The tool really got me out of a bind. I was grilling and having a lovely BBQ with the family in no time!”
