The end opposite to the teeth can incorporate a pair of diametrically opposed notches (3) for engagement by a driving tool. The tool used can consist of a body of external diameter such as to fit closely inside the sleeve and with a spindle at one end fitting between chuck jaws, also one or more spiral grooves running from one end to the other. The tool end opposite to the spindle can incorporate a cutter, and it can also have pins engaging in the notches.
