The stock accepts dies with a 1-13\/16 inch outside diameter and measures 21-3\/8 inches in overall length, giving the technician adequate leverage for controlled thread engagement. This tool is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical tradespeople who cut external threads on pipe, rod, or bolt stock in the field or shop. The hex die compatibility ensures secure, non-slip seating of the die during operation, reducing chatter and improving thread quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IRWIN 12446 hex die stock is suited for trade and industrial threading applications where a 1-13\/16 inch hex die is required.
