1-3/8 - 18 UNEF threading die ($78, McMaster-Carr) neatly cleans driver "snoot" threads boogered by idiot eBay shipper.
Two drops of thread cutting oil from the hardware store made it easy going.
Paint brush and vacuum cleared most of the filings/chips, but masking tape is required to capture the last of them before any opening of the driver.
Once they get in the gap, it's Hell removing them.... :o:
An uncommon thread size, apparently. Your local machine shop may have the die. None of mine did....
