Value Collection 364-0161 Hex Rethreading Die M16x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0161 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die handles M16x1 metric fine threads with a right-hand cutting direction. Rethreading dies like this one are used to chase and clean existing threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod without cutting new material away. The hex body allows a standard wrench or die stock to drive the tool with controlled torque. It is a practical addition to any maintenance or fabrication toolbox where metric fasteners are in regular use.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and general mechanical trades working on equipment with metric fine-threaded fasteners. It is particularly useful during equipment repair when bolts or studs have surface rust, paint buildup, or minor thread damage that prevents proper nut engagement. The M16x1 metric fine pitch is common on precision machinery, automotive components, and industrial equipment where fine-thread engagement is required for vibration resistance or adjustment purposes.

Key Features

• M16x1 metric fine thread size for restoration of fine-pitch external threads
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread chasing on steel and softer alloys
• Hex body profile accepts standard wrenches or die stocks for controlled driving
• Single-piece die — no assembly required before use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading die for use on M16x1 metric fine right-hand external threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by mechanical trades to restore damaged external threads. Before use, secure the workpiece firmly and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and improve thread quality. Drive the die slowly with steady, even pressure, backing off periodically to clear chips. Inspect the restored threads with a mating nut before returning the fastener to service.
