These things are great. Allow you to chase or fix threads where a tap handle wouldn't fit.
The best rethreading tool is a rethreading kit.
If that fails (no matching size in the kit, etc), find an equivalent hardened bolt and nut at ACE.
metric grade 10.9
standard SAE J429 Grade 8
Then, using a file, jigsaw, or a dremel, score 3-4 perpendicular lines full length of the bolt threads or nut threads.
Use this for your problem and add this to your rethreading kit!
This matches how the items in the rethreading kit are designed.
IMO it cleans up bad threads in the hole and on the bolt.
Done this twice. Once for a brake control unit; once for an axle nut that crossthreaded the threads on the axle!
I learned of this on YT (of course). Before so, I was scratching my head on how to fix the issue.
I bought a complete Tap and Die set, and have never once used it successfully for a crossthreaded hole or bolt. I always grab my rethreading kit and hit ACE when I come upon a new size not in the kit.

Can you recommend a kit or any generic should do?

I bought this one in late 2022 for $60 as I was getting ready to rebuild an engine.
However, knowing what I know now, buying bolts and nuts and making the slits works also.
Ordered this set along with the 3 pc set that fits the larger taps currently $27.34 on sales. Lisle #70940. I don't use taps that often but when you need one money is non negotiable. With both sets I can tackle majority of projects as needed. Thanks OP.
