Value Collection 364-0183 Hex Rethreading Die M18x1.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0183 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric fine threads to their original specification. Sized for M18x1.5 thread pitch with a right-hand thread direction, this die is used to clean up bolt, stud, and fastener threads without requiring full replacement of the fastener. Constructed from carbon steel, it provides the hardness needed for general-purpose thread restoration on steel and softer fastener materials. It is a standard shop and field tool used by machinists, maintenance technicians, mechanics, and trade professionals who need to recover stripped or fouled threads quickly.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair applications where M18x1.5 metric fine external threads need to be cleaned, chased, or restored. Typical use cases include heavy equipment repair, automotive and diesel service, industrial machinery maintenance, and plumbing or HVAC equipment that uses metric fasteners. The hex body allows use with a standard wrench or rethreading die holder for controlled torque application in tight spaces or on fasteners that remain partially installed.

Key Features

• M18x1.5 metric fine thread size for precise thread restoration
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness for general-purpose rethreading
• Hex body design works with standard wrenches and die holders
• Restores damaged external threads without fastener removal in many applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on M18x1.5 metric fine external threads. Suitable for thread chasing and restoration on steel fasteners and studs conforming to the metric fine thread standard.

Installation Notes

Thread chasing dies are typically used by machinists, mechanics, and maintenance technicians. Before use, clean debris and corrosion from the fastener as much as possible and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Use steady, controlled torque and back the die off periodically to clear chips. Do not force the die over severely deformed threads, as this can damage the die cutting edges.
