Value Collection 364-0205 Hex Rethreading Die M20x2.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0205 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads without requiring a lathe or threading machine. It accepts M20x2.5 thread geometry and is manufactured from carbon steel, providing adequate hardness for reworking fastener threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod. The hex outer profile allows direct engagement with a standard open-end wrench or adjustable wrench, making it practical for field repair work. Maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals keep this type of die on hand for thread cleanup during equipment teardown and reassembly.

This rethreading die is suited for metric coarse thread repair on M20x2.5 threaded components in industrial, mechanical, and facility maintenance applications. It is used when bolt or stud threads have been damaged by rust, cross-threading, or impact and need to be restored to acceptable thread form before reassembly. Right-hand thread direction matches the standard fastener orientation used in the majority of metric mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• M20x2.5 metric coarse thread profile for standard metric fastener repair
• Right-hand thread direction matches conventional metric fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for thread restoration on common fastener materials
• Hex outer profile accepts open-end wrench or adjustable wrench for hand-tool operation
• Compact form factor allows use in field and shop environments without specialized equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a rethreading die for external M20x2.5 metric coarse right-hand threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod in standard metric fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Thread rethreading dies are typically used by maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and millwrights during equipment service. Before use, clean loose rust and debris from the damaged thread area. Apply cutting oil to the die and the workpiece threads to reduce friction and extend die life. Run the die slowly by hand using a wrench, reversing periodically to clear chips and prevent die loading.
