It cuts a 5\/8-18 UNF right-hand thread profile using a carbon steel construction that holds up to repeated field use. The 1-7\/16 inch hex outer diameter fits standard die stocks and ratcheting die holders. Electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general contractors reach for rethreading dies when a bolt or stud has been cross-threaded or surface-rusted to the point where a nut will no longer run cleanly. This die cleans and re-cuts the thread form without requiring a full thread-cutting setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is suited for maintenance and repair work on existing threaded fasteners in residential and commercial construction, mechanical rooms, and industrial service environments. The 5\/8-18 UNF thread size is common on fine-thread bolts found in automotive, structural, and mechanical assembly applications. The non-adjustable fixed die design keeps the thread profile consistent across repeated passes, making it a reliable shop and field tool for service technicians who need to salvage threaded components rather than replace them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-18 UNF right-hand thread for restoring fine-pitch external threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction provides durability for repeated rethreading passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-7\/16 inch hex outer diameter fits standard die stocks and ratcheting holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-adjustable design maintains consistent thread profile on every pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1\/2 inch thickness for use in tight-clearance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement rethreading die for use with standard die stocks and ratcheting die holders accepting a 1-7\/16 inch hex outer diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRethreading dies are typically used by trade professionals including electricians, plumbers, and pipefitters performing repair work on existing threaded fasteners. Ensure the workpiece is secured before applying the die, and apply cutting oil to the thread surface to reduce friction and extend die life. Always start the die squarely on the fastener to avoid cutting a skewed thread. Follow applicable worksite safety protocols when working near live electrical or pressurized systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\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: 1-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112805\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: 49-57-5371\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695276032306,"sku":"49-57-5371","price":27.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4e69187d0c0737d9024d2af7f5012d3c.jpg?v=1788333445","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-tool-49-57-5371-hex-rethreading-die-5-8-18-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
