Value Collection 364-0073 Hex Rethreading Die M7x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0073 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads without the need for a full tap-and-die set. Built from carbon steel, this die handles M7x1 metric coarse threads with a right-hand cutting direction. It fits standard hex die stocks and rethreading wrenches, making it a practical addition to any service technician's thread-repair toolkit. Rethreading dies like this one are used to clean up bolt and stud threads that have been cross-threaded, rusted, or otherwise damaged, restoring fastener function without full replacement.

This die is suited for use in maintenance, repair, and overhaul applications across HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and general trade environments. It is particularly useful when servicing equipment where metric-threaded fasteners are common, such as hydronic heating systems, refrigeration equipment, pumps, and imported machinery. The M7x1 size covers a thread pitch of 1 millimeter on a 7-millimeter nominal diameter, a metric coarse standard specification.

Key Features

• M7x1 metric coarse thread specification for accurate thread restoration
• Right-hand cutting direction — standard for the vast majority of fasteners
• Carbon steel construction provides durability for occasional to moderate use
• Hex body design fits standard rethreading wrenches and die stocks
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds — easy to carry in a service bag or toolbox

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental rethreading die for use with standard hex die stocks accepting M7x1 metric coarse external thread dies.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are installed by licensed technicians and general trades professionals using a compatible hex die stock or rethreading wrench. Before use, ensure the fastener or stud is secure and the surrounding area is clear of tension or load. Apply cutting oil to the die and the threaded surface to reduce friction and extend die life. Do not force the die through severely deformed threads — if threads cannot be started by hand, the fastener may require replacement.
