Value Collection 364-0202 Hex Rethreading Die M20x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0202 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads to their original specification. Machined from carbon steel, this die handles M20x1.25 thread sizes with a right-hand thread direction per the Metric Special standard. It is used by mechanics, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians to chase and clean thread profiles on bolts, studs, and threaded rod without full thread cutting. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for controlled torque application in the field or at the bench.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair work across industrial, commercial, and mechanical service environments. Typical applications include restoring fastener threads on equipment housings, hydraulic fittings, and structural fasteners where M20x1.25 fine-pitch threads are specified. Its compact hex form factor makes it practical for both shop use and on-site service calls where a full threading set is not available.

Key Features

Designed for use on M20x1.25 right-hand external threads following the Metric Special thread standard. Suitable for rethreading steel and iron fasteners and threaded components in that specification.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a mechanic or maintenance technician using a standard wrench sized to the hex body. Before use, clean the damaged thread area of debris, rust, and grease to allow proper die engagement. Apply cutting oil to the threads and die to reduce friction and extend tool life. Start the die straight onto the thread axis to avoid cross-threading and advance slowly with back-off strokes to clear chips.
