Irwin 9743 Metric Hexagon Die 12mm X 1.50 Carbon Steel

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 9743 is a 12mm x 1.50 metric hexagon die made from carbon steel, designed for hand threading work across a variety of materials. This die cuts or restores external metric threads where high accuracy and tolerance are not critical requirements. It is a practical tool for routine maintenance and repair scenarios, including rethreading damaged or corroded fasteners. The hexagonal body profile allows it to be driven with standard hex die stock, a wrench, or a socket, making it adaptable when working in tight or restricted spaces. Package quantity is 3 dies per unit.

This die is suited for use in field service, shop maintenance, and repair applications where quick thread restoration on metric fasteners is the priority. It is commonly used by maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, HVAC service pros, and general tradespeople who need to rethread bolts, studs, or threaded rod during equipment repair. The 12mm x 1.50 thread specification is a standard coarse metric pitch found on a wide range of machinery and equipment fasteners. Its compact hexagonal form factor allows use in locations where a traditional die stock cannot fit.

Key Features

• 12mm x 1.50 metric thread specification for standard coarse pitch rethreading
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for maintenance and repair threading tasks
• Hexagonal body works with hex die stock, a wrench, or a socket for versatile driving options
• Compact form factor allows use in space-limited installations where standard die stock cannot reach
• Designed for hand threading — suited for rethreading and cleanup passes, not precision production threading
• Sold in a package of 3 dies per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with hexagon die stock and compatible with standard wrenches and sockets sized to the hex body. Intended for hand threading applications on 12mm x 1.50 metric external threads in a variety of materials.

Installation Notes

This die is intended for hand threading use only — do not use in a powered die head or lathe setup. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece and die before threading to reduce friction and extend die life. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before applying torque. Inspect threads after use to confirm acceptable fit for the application.
