Irwin IR8568 Hex Bolt Die 24mm X 2.0mm Hcs

Product Description

The IRWIN IR8568 is a hex bolt die designed for cutting and restoring external 24mm x 2.0mm metric threads. Manufactured from hardened carbon steel (HCS), this die delivers the rigidity needed for clean, accurate thread formation on bolts and fasteners. The hex outer profile measures 1-13/16 inches across and is sized for use with standard external die stocks. It is a practical hand tool for licensed machinists, automotive technicians, and maintenance tradespeople who need to cut new threads or chase damaged ones on metric fasteners.

This die is suited for automotive repair shops, industrial machinery maintenance, and general metalworking applications where 24mm x 2.0mm metric external threads are required. It is sold individually and can be used as a standalone replacement die or as part of a thread-cutting set. Typical use cases include restoring corrosion-damaged fastener threads and threading new rod or bolt stock to metric specification.
