Hi Mike,

             I do not present this as a cure all but have had success with 
their 
older Nes1 tool:

http://www.nes.co.il/

            My tool is marked as 60 degrees, not the 55 degrees of the 
Whitworth 
form but it has
saved a few British motorcycle parts with the Whitworth thread form.

             Food for thought and a possible option.

Bob
