Feeling particularly slow today.

I'm after a pully tap / extra long tap for chasing out an M8 x 1.25 thread. Ideally ~15mm long.

Is this "right-hand thread" right? Or will it give me a reverse thread? My thread is a normal righty-tighty that you screw a bolt clockwise into:

That is the correct item for your needs.
If the thread is not too badly damaged and in the absence of a tap I would use a spare bolt with a couple of longitudinal slots cut along the thread to collect and cut away any burrs on the thread.

That is such a good idea!

It's just cleaning out the threads of threadlock and gunk. I have a decent socket set with an extension as well as a Dremel.

Cheers.

So I'll hold for now and check for a suitable bolt.
