Cle-line C65582 Hex Rethreading Die M8x1.25 Carbon Steel

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65582 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded metric external threads without removing the fastener from the assembly. The die cuts an M8x1.25 metric coarse thread profile and measures 0.3125 inches (7.94 mm) thick, making it compatible with standard hex die stocks and holders. Manufactured from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness needed for field rethreading of bolts, studs, and threaded rod on mechanical, plumbing, and industrial assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals reach for this type of die when a fastener thread is too damaged to accept a nut cleanly but replacement is impractical.

This die is suited for rethreading metric fasteners in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service applications. The right-hand thread direction matches the standard orientation of the vast majority of metric fasteners encountered in the field. At 0.032 pounds, it is light enough to carry in a service pouch and is used wherever a technician needs a fast, portable solution for restoring M8x1.25 threads on equipment in place.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by licensed mechanics, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians performing field repairs. Before use, de-burr and clean the damaged fastener thread to remove loose material and debris. Seat the die squarely onto the fastener and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Never force the die onto a severely deformed thread in a single pass; back off periodically to clear cuttings and prevent die breakage.
