Value Collection 364-0281 Hex Rethreading Die M28x1.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0281 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric fine threads. Built from carbon steel, this die handles M28x1.5 thread profiles with a right-hand cutting direction. At 1 inch thick with a 2 inch hex body, it seats securely in a standard die stock or wrench and delivers consistent thread repair on fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and industrial service work. The carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for rethreading steel and softer alloy fasteners in the field or shop.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance, repair, and overhaul applications where M28x1.5 metric fine threads have been damaged by rust, impact, or cross-threading. Typical use cases include equipment rebuilds, pipe fitting repairs, and heavy fastener restoration in industrial and commercial settings. The right-hand thread direction matches the vast majority of standard metric fasteners. The 2 inch hex size allows drive with a common open-end wrench or adjustable wrench, making it practical for both shop bench work and field service calls.

Installation Notes

Thread restoration work should be performed by a qualified machinist or mechanical technician. Before rethreading, clean the fastener of debris, rust, and burrs with a wire brush to reduce die wear and improve thread quality. Apply a cutting fluid or thread-cutting oil to the die and workpiece before and during use to prolong die life and produce cleaner threads. Inspect the restored thread with a matching metric fine nut or thread gauge after cutting to confirm proper fit before reassembly.
