Part of the Hex-LOK series, this die fits 1-inch hex drivers and works on 8-32 UNC right-hand threaded fasteners. Constructed from carbon steel, it delivers the hardness needed to cut through rust, paint buildup, and thread deformation on bolts, screws, and studs. At 0.07 pounds and 0.5 inches thick, it is compact enough to carry in a service pouch. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance pros keep these on hand for field thread repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rethreading die is suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications where restoring a fastener in place is faster than replacement. The 8-32 UNC thread size is common in electrical enclosures, panel covers, light fixtures, and equipment chassis. The Hex-LOK design means the die seats directly into a 1-inch hex socket or wrench, allowing controlled torque application without a dedicated die stock. Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation for this size class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores damaged 8-32 UNC right-hand external threads on bolts, screws, and studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex-LOK design seats in a 1-inch hex driver or wrench — no separate die stock required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction provides hardness for cutting through rust and paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-adjustable fixed geometry maintains consistent thread form on each pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch thickness keeps the tool compact for toolbox and pouch storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 8-32 UNC right-hand threaded fasteners.

De-energize and lock out any equipment before working on fasteners in or near electrical panels or live systems. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the die and fastener before use to reduce friction and improve thread quality. Run the die slowly and back off periodically to clear debris and prevent binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex-LOK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49-57-5321\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694295089458,"sku":"49-57-5321","price":16.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/26584c792cfa83e0d93b5a2bcea19490.jpg?v=1788322748","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-tool-49-57-5321-hex-rethreading-die-8-32-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
