Value Collection 364-0181 Hex Rethreading Die M18x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0181 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric fine threads to their original specification. The die cuts an M18x1 thread profile in the right-hand direction, making it suitable for chasing and cleaning threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod used in mechanical, plumbing, and industrial applications. Constructed from carbon steel, this die delivers reliable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is sized for use with a standard die stock or tap-and-die set and is a practical tool for technicians performing field or shop repairs.

This rethreading die is intended for use wherever M18x1 metric fine external threads need to be cleaned, repaired, or restored without full thread replacement. Typical applications include equipment maintenance, fastener salvage, and thread repair on hydraulic fittings, mechanical assemblies, and industrial components. The right-hand thread direction covers the vast majority of standard metric fastener configurations encountered in trade and industrial service work.

Key Features

• M18x1 metric fine thread profile for precise rethreading of damaged external threads
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard metric fastener installations
• Carbon steel construction provides durable cutting performance
• Hex-style body fits standard die stocks for controlled torque application
• Metric fine thread standard suited for applications requiring closer thread pitch than coarse series

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading tool for M18x1 metric fine right-hand external threads; compatible with standard hex die stocks sized to accept this die body.

Installation Notes

This die should be used by qualified tradespeople or machinists familiar with thread repair procedures. Before use, clean and deburr the damaged threaded section and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Use a properly sized die stock to maintain alignment and apply steady, controlled torque — avoid forcing the die over severely damaged threads without prior preparation. Follow applicable workplace safety guidelines when working with cutting tools and metal debris.
