Value Collection 364-0172 Hex Rethreading Die M17x1.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0172 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original M17x1.5 metric fine specification. The die is machined from carbon steel, providing the hardness needed to chase and clean threads on fasteners, fittings, and threaded shafts commonly encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC service work. It follows a right-hand thread direction, matching the standard orientation of the vast majority of metric fasteners. Technicians use rethreading dies to salvage components rather than replace them, making this a practical addition to any field or shop toolkit.

This die is suited for use in maintenance and repair scenarios where M17x1.5 metric fine threads have been damaged by cross-threading, corrosion, or impact. It is appropriate for use in automotive, light industrial, and mechanical service applications. The hex body allows for engagement with a standard wrench or rethreading die holder for controlled thread restoration. Both shop technicians and field service professionals working with metric-threaded components will find this die useful for restoring fastener integrity without full component replacement.

Key Features

• M17x1.5 metric fine thread specification for precise thread restoration
• Carbon steel construction provides the hardness needed for effective thread chasing
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard metric fastener orientation
• Hex body design allows engagement with a standard wrench or die holder
• Single-piece die format for straightforward use in field or shop environments

Compatibility

Designed for use on external M17x1.5 metric fine threaded fasteners, shafts, and fittings requiring thread restoration or cleanup.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies should be installed and used by qualified technicians familiar with thread repair procedures. Ensure the workpiece is secured before applying the die, and apply appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and improve thread quality during the chasing process. Do not force the die onto severely deformed threads in a single pass; use progressive passes where necessary to avoid damaging the die.
