Irwin Industrial Tool Co 9717 Hex Die 4mm X 0.70 Metric

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 9717 is a 4mm x 0.70 metric hexagon die made from carbon steel, designed for hand threading work across a variety of materials. The 1-inch hex body fits standard hexagon die stocks and can also be driven with a wrench or socket when working in tight or restricted spaces. This die is suited for routine maintenance and repair applications where rethreading is required and high-accuracy tolerance threads are not critical. Tradespeople across plumbing, mechanical, and general maintenance fields reach for this type of tool when field repairs call for restoring damaged or corroded threads quickly.

The 9717 is well-suited for maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals who need a reliable metric rethreading die on the job. Its compact hexagonal profile allows use in confined areas where a full die stock handle cannot be swung. The 4mm x 0.70 thread specification covers a common metric fastener size found in mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment brackets, and light structural components. It is appropriate for both shop bench work and field service calls where portability matters.

Installation Notes

This die is intended for hand threading use by experienced trade professionals. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before threading to prevent movement. Apply cutting oil or thread lubricant to extend die life and produce cleaner threads. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use and replace if damaged.
