Value Collection 364-0201 Hex Rethreading Die M20x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0201 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric fine threads to their original specification. Machined from carbon steel, this die handles M20x1 thread size with a right-hand thread direction. Rethreading dies are used to chase and restore threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod without full removal or replacement. The hex body allows a standard wrench or die stock to drive the tool through the workpiece. This die is well suited for maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments where metric fine fasteners are common.

This rethreading die is appropriate for use in industrial maintenance, mechanical repair shops, plumbing, HVAC, and general fabrication settings. It is used wherever M20x1 metric fine external threads need to be cleaned up or restored after corrosion, impact damage, or cross-threading. Typical applications include restoring threads on hydraulic fittings, machinery studs, and structural fasteners. The right-hand thread direction covers the vast majority of standard metric fastener applications.

Key Features

• M20x1 metric fine thread size for precise thread restoration
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard metric fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread chasing on common fastener materials
• Hex body design accepts standard wrenches and die stocks for controlled torque application
• Metric fine thread standard for close-tolerance fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on M20x1 right-hand metric fine external threads, compatible with standard hex die stocks and adjustable die holders sized for this thread class.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals performing thread repair. Before rethreading, clean the fastener or stud of debris, rust, and grease, and apply a suitable cutting oil to the die to reduce friction and improve thread quality. Run the die slowly and back it off periodically to clear chips. Inspect the restored threads with a metric nut or thread gauge before returning the fastener to service.
