Value Collection 364-0123 Hex Rethreading Die M12x1.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0123 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric fine threads. The die accepts an M12x1.5 thread size with a right-hand thread direction and is machined from carbon steel for reliable cutting performance on standard fastener materials. Rethreading dies like this one are used by mechanics, plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians to chase or clean up bolt and stud threads without full part replacement. The hex profile allows use with a standard wrench or die stock holder for controlled torque application.

This die is suited for field repair and shop maintenance applications where M12x1.5 metric fine threads need to be restored on bolts, studs, or threaded rod. Typical use cases include automotive, HVAC equipment fasteners, and industrial machinery hardware where metric fine thread fasteners are common. The right-hand thread orientation matches standard fastener conventions for this thread class. Sold as a single die.

Key Features

• M12x1.5 metric fine thread size for precision thread restoration
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for rethreading most common bolt materials
• Hex outer profile compatible with standard wrenches and die stock holders
• Metric fine thread standard for use on close-tolerance fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a rethreading die for M12x1.5 right-hand metric fine external threads. Suitable for use on bolts, studs, and threaded rod conforming to the M12x1.5 metric fine thread standard.

Installation Notes

This die should be installed in a properly sized die stock holder or turned with a wrench sized to its hex profile. Always clean and lubricate the damaged thread area before rethreading to reduce cutting resistance and extend die life. Start the die squarely on the thread axis to avoid cross-threading or die damage. This is a hand tool intended for thread restoration, not for cutting new threads in unthreaded stock.
