Value Collection 364-0482 Hex Rethreading Die M48x1.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0482 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die cuts M48x1.5 metric fine threads in the right-hand direction. Rethreading dies like this one are used by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and machinists to salvage fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod without full replacement. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for controlled torque application in the field or shop. At 0.75 pounds, it is a solid, single-piece tool suited for both bench use and on-site repair work.

This die is intended for rethreading applications on large-diameter metric fasteners and threaded stock. The M48x1.5 specification falls within the metric fine thread standard, making it appropriate for precision assemblies where a finer pitch than the coarse series is required. Typical use cases include heavy equipment maintenance, structural fastener repair, and industrial machinery service where M48 fasteners appear on shafts, flanges, or mounting hardware.

Key Features

• M48x1.5 metric fine thread profile for large-diameter rethreading
• Right-hand thread direction — the standard orientation for most fastener applications
• Carbon steel construction for durability through repeated use
• Hex body profile accepts standard wrenches for controlled engagement
• Single-piece die format — no assembly required before use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service rethreading die for M48x1.5 metric fine right-hand threaded fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod in industrial and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians familiar with thread repair procedures. Before use, clean and lubricate the damaged threads and the die itself to reduce cutting resistance and improve thread form. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying the die to prevent movement during cutting. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear appropriate hand protection when working with cutting tools.
