Milwaukee Tool 49-57-5356 Hex Rethreading Die M11x1.5

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-57-5356 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads on fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod. Part of the Hex-LOK series, it features a 1.0 inch hex body that seats securely in a standard hex socket or wrench, allowing controlled torque application in tight or field-service conditions. The die cuts a right-hand M11x1.5 metric coarse thread profile and is manufactured from carbon steel for reliable cutting performance on common steel and iron fasteners. At 0.06 pounds, it is compact and easy to carry in a service pouch or toolbox. A non-adjustable design keeps the thread form consistent across uses. Thickness is 0.5 inches. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians working on mechanical assemblies, automotive hardware, or structural fasteners will find this a practical thread-repair tool.

This rethreading die is suited for field repair and shop maintenance applications where M11x1.5 metric coarse threads have been damaged by rust, impact, cross-threading, or general wear. Typical use cases include equipment maintenance in industrial and commercial environments, automotive service, and structural fastener rehabilitation. The 1.0 inch hex profile allows use with common hand tools and impact-rated drive sockets, making it accessible for mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working without a full die stock set.

• 1.0 inch hex body seats in standard hex sockets or box-end wrenches for controlled torque
• Non-adjustable design ensures consistent thread form on every pass
• Carbon steel construction handles common steel and iron fastener materials
• Hex-LOK series design at 0.5 inches thick and 0.06 pounds for compact field carry
• Right-hand thread direction matches the vast majority of standard metric fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading die for use on external M11x1.5 metric coarse right-hand threaded fasteners and components. Compatible with any driver tool accepting a 1.0 inch hex drive interface.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by mechanics, millwrights, or maintenance technicians performing fastener rehabilitation. Before use, clean the damaged thread area and apply a cutting or threading lubricant to reduce heat and extend die life. Start the die straight onto the fastener axis to avoid compounding thread damage. Do not use this die to cut new threads into unthreaded stock — it is designed for chasing and restoring existing thread forms only.
