Value Collection 364-0122 Hex Rethreading Die M12x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0122 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die handles M12x1.25 metric fine threads and cuts in a right-hand direction. It fits standard hex die stocks and wrenches used in maintenance, repair, and fabrication work. Rethreading dies like this one are a routine tool for plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, and general trade mechanics who need to salvage threaded fasteners, bolts, or fittings without full replacement. The compact size makes it easy to carry in a field service kit.

This die is suited for rethreading M12x1.25 metric fine external threads on bolts, studs, pipe fittings, and threaded rod. Metric fine thread fasteners appear in hydronic heating equipment, HVAC equipment panels, pump assemblies, electrical enclosures, and imported mechanical components. This die allows a technician to clean up cross-threaded or surface-rusted fasteners on the job without requiring a full tap and die set.

Key Features

• M12x1.25 metric fine thread profile for precise rethreading of damaged fasteners

Compatibility

Designed for use on external M12x1.25 metric fine threaded fasteners including bolts, studs, and threaded rod. Fits standard hex die stocks sized for this thread range.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by hand with a die stock or wrench — no power tools required. Before use, secure the workpiece and remove loose rust, paint, or debris from the damaged thread area with a wire brush. Apply cutting oil or thread lubricant to reduce friction and extend die life. Follow applicable shop safety practices and inspect the die for wear or cracking before each use.
