Value Collection 364-0120 Hex Rethreading Die M12x0.75

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0120 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric fine threads to their original specification. Made from carbon steel, this die fits standard hex die stocks and drive handles used in field and shop repair work. It cuts a right-hand M12x0.75 thread profile, making it suited for precision metric fastener repair on plumbing fittings, HVAC components, and mechanical assemblies where fine-pitch threads are required. Machinists, mechanics, and trade professionals reach for rethreading dies when a fastener or fitting thread is galled, rusted, or cross-threaded and replacement is impractical.

This die is appropriate for rethreading M12 fine-pitch external threads in light industrial, mechanical, and trade-service applications. Common use cases include restoring threads on sensor bosses, valve stems, and small-diameter fittings found in HVAC, plumbing, and equipment repair environments. The right-hand thread direction covers the vast majority of standard metric fastener and fitting applications. Sold individually, it suits both bench repair and field service kits.

Key Features

• M12x0.75 metric fine thread profile for precision rethreading work
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread restoration on steel and softer alloy fasteners
• Hex outer profile fits standard hex die stocks and tap-and-die set handles
• Compact size suits field service kits and bench tool sets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex rethreading die for use with compatible hex die stocks and drive handles accepting metric fine-thread dies. Fits M12x0.75 right-hand thread applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by mechanics, machinists, and trade technicians performing thread restoration. Secure the workpiece firmly before engaging the die, and apply a thread-cutting lubricant to extend die life and improve thread quality. Back the die off periodically to clear chips when working on longer thread lengths. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear eye protection during all threading operations.
