Eagle Cutting Tool CHD-2500-28-I Carbon Hex Rethread Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CHD-2500-28-I is a carbon steel hex rethread die sized for 1/4-28 UNF threads. It restores damaged or corroded external threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod without requiring full thread removal or replacement. The hexagonal body seats in a standard die stock or wrench for controlled hand operation. At 1.96 pounds, this is a solid, durable tool suited for shop use, field service, or maintenance repair operations. Plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians working with fine-thread fasteners will find this die a reliable addition to a thread repair kit.

This hex rethread die is intended for use on 1/4-28 UNF fine-thread fasteners common in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment panels. It is appropriate for both shop bench work and on-site thread restoration where replacing a fastener is impractical. The import-grade construction makes it a cost-effective option for general maintenance tasks where a top-tier toolroom die is not required.

Key Features

• 1/4-28 UNF thread specification for fine-thread fastener repair
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread chasing on steel and softer metals
• Hex body design accepts standard die stocks and adjustable wrenches for easy torque application
• Restores damaged external threads without full fastener replacement
• Import-grade construction offers a cost-effective solution for general maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed for use on 1/4-28 UNF externally threaded fasteners including bolts, studs, and threaded rod. Fits standard hex die stocks sized for this thread class.

Installation Notes

Thread chasing and rethreading work is typically performed by mechanics, maintenance technicians, or licensed tradespeople during equipment servicing. Before use, clean the fastener of debris, rust, and old thread compound. Apply cutting oil to the die and fastener to reduce friction and extend die life. Always start the die squarely on the fastener to avoid cross-threading.
