Value Collection 364-0121 Hex Rethreading Die M12x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0121 is a hex rethreading die designed to clean and restore damaged or corroded external metric fine threads. Sized for M12x1 thread profiles with a right-hand thread direction, this die is manufactured from carbon steel, providing sufficient hardness for use on common fastener materials encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service work. Technicians use rethreading dies to salvage bolts, studs, and threaded rods without full replacement, reducing downtime on the job. The hex body profile allows standard wrench engagement for controlled torque application.

This die is suited for field repair and shop maintenance scenarios where M12x1 metric fine threads have been stripped, cross-threaded, or corroded. It is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general mechanical tradespeople working on equipment with metric fastener hardware. The compact size and single-piece construction make it easy to carry in a service bag or store in a shop tool kit.

Key Features

• M12x1 metric fine thread size for precise thread restoration on fine-pitch fasteners
• Right-hand thread direction matches the standard orientation of most metric fasteners
• Carbon steel construction provides durability for use on common ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Hex body profile allows engagement with standard wrenches or die stocks for controlled operation
• Single-piece die format — no assembly required before use

Compatibility

Designed for use on external M12x1 metric fine threaded fasteners including bolts, studs, and threaded rods. Fits standard hex die holders sized for the corresponding die OD.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by mechanics and trade technicians to chase or restore external threads on fasteners. Before use, secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the die is started straight to avoid cross-threading. Apply cutting oil or thread lubricant to extend die life and improve cut quality. Follow standard shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye protection when operating cutting tools.
