Value Collection 364-0036 Hex Rethreading Die M3.5x0.6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0036 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads without removing the fastener or workpiece from service. The die cuts an M3.5x0.6 thread profile in the right-hand direction, conforming to the metric coarse thread standard. Manufactured from carbon steel, it delivers adequate hardness for use on soft metals and lightly corroded fasteners. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals reach for rethreading dies when a bolt, stud, or threaded rod has sustained thread damage that prevents proper nut engagement. The hex outer profile seats securely in a standard die stock or adjustable wrench for controlled hand operation.

This die is suited for maintenance, repair, and overhaul work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades where M3.5x0.6 metric coarse fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include chasing stripped threads on small machine screws, equipment studs, and panel fasteners in residential and light commercial settings. It is packaged and sold as a single die, making it a practical addition to a field service kit or shop toolbox.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are hand tools used by machinists and trade technicians — no power source is required. Before use, de-energize or depressurize any assembly containing the fastener being rethreaded. Apply a cutting or tapping fluid to the die and the work thread to reduce friction and improve thread quality. Run the die slowly and back off periodically to clear chips, especially in blind or confined thread runs.
