Value Collection 364-0242 Hex Rethreading Die M24x2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0242 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die handles M24x2 thread size with a right-hand thread direction and conforms to the metric fine thread standard. At 1 inch thick, it provides the contact depth needed for stable thread restoration on fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod. Pipe fitters, millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and general metalworking tradespeople use rethreading dies as a fast field repair alternative to replacing damaged fasteners entirely.

This die is suited for maintenance and repair operations in industrial, commercial, and mechanical service environments. It is used wherever M24x2 metric fine external threads are found — common on heavy machinery, structural fasteners, hydraulic fittings, and equipment anchoring hardware. The hex body allows a standard die stock or wrench to drive the die without slipping, making it practical for both bench work and in-place fastener restoration.

Key Features

• M24x2 thread size for metric fine pitch applications
• Right-hand thread direction — compatible with standard fastener orientation
• 1 inch thickness provides stable thread engagement depth
• Carbon steel construction for durability on ferrous and mild-alloy fasteners
• Hex body design accepts standard die stocks and open-end wrenches
• Metric fine thread standard — appropriate for precision and high-load fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with M24x2 metric fine pitch external threads. Fits standard hex die stocks sized for this thread diameter. Suitable for rethreading bolts, studs, and threaded rod in metric fine pitch applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and pipefitters performing field or shop repair. Before use, secure the workpiece to prevent movement and clean away rust, burrs, or debris from the damaged thread area. Apply cutting oil to the die and the fastener before starting to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Do not force the die over severely collapsed or stripped threads without first dressing the lead-in with a file.
