Cle-line C65602 Hex Rethreading Die 1/4-28 Unf

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65602 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die handles 1/4-28 UNF right-hand threads and fits standard hex die holders. Rethreading dies like this are used to chase and clean existing threads rather than cut new ones from solid stock, making them a fast field repair option. The fixed, non-adjustable design holds a consistent thread form throughout use. At 0.025 pounds, it is compact enough for a tool pouch or service kit.

This die is suited for maintenance, repair, and overhaul work across mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trade applications where 1/4-28 UNF fasteners and fittings are common. It is well-suited for restoring threads on bolts, studs, and fittings that have been cross-threaded, corroded, or otherwise damaged. The 1/4-28 UNF specification makes it a frequent choice in light mechanical assemblies and instrument hardware. Journeymen mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers will find it a practical addition to a thread repair set.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic or qualified trade technician should secure the workpiece firmly before applying the die to avoid damage to the base material. Cutting oil or thread lubricant is recommended to reduce heat and extend die life. Back the die off periodically to clear chips when working on longer thread sections. Verify thread specification on the fastener or fitting before selecting the die to avoid mismatched thread forms.
