Century Drill Tool 98216 Hex Die 3/4 Inch X 16 Nf Carbon Steel

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 98216 is a hexagon threading die designed for hand threading work across a variety of materials. Built from carbon steel, it cuts 3/4 inch National Fine (NF) threads at 16 threads per inch. This die is suited for routine maintenance and repair work where rethreading is needed and high-accuracy tolerance is not the primary requirement. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need a reliable, general-purpose die for field or shop threading tasks. The hex body design allows use with a standard hex die stock, wrench, or socket.

This die is appropriate for rethreading bolts, rods, and fasteners in residential, commercial, and light industrial maintenance settings. It fits applications where space constraints make a conventional die handle impractical, since the hex profile accepts a wrench or socket drive directly. Sold in a bulk box package quantity of 6 units, making it a practical stock item for shops and service fleets that perform frequent thread repair work.
