Value Collection 365-1008 Hex Rethreading Die 5/16-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1008 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. It cuts a 5/16-20 thread profile in the right-hand direction, following the UNS thread standard. Built from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness needed to clean and recut threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod in the field or shop. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics keep rethreading dies like this on hand for pipe fitting work, equipment repair, and fastener restoration where replacing a threaded component is not practical.

This die is suited for light industrial and trade applications where a 5/16-20 UNS right-hand thread must be restored or chased. Typical use cases include cleaning corrosion-damaged threads on mechanical fasteners, pipe fittings, and equipment mounting hardware. The hex body style allows a standard wrench or die stock to drive the tool, making it accessible in tight spaces where a full die handle may not fit.

Key Features

• 5/16-20 thread size restores UNS right-hand external threads to spec
• Carbon steel construction provides durability for thread chasing on steel and softer metals
• Hex body profile accepts a standard wrench or die stock for direct drive
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener orientation
• Compact, single-piece design suited for field repair kits and shop toolboxes

Compatibility

Designed for use on 5/16-20 UNS right-hand external threads. Suitable for rethreading bolts, studs, and threaded rod that conform to this thread standard.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by mechanics, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians during repair or assembly work. Before using, clean loose rust and debris from the damaged threads. Apply cutting oil to the die and the workpiece to reduce friction and extend tool life. Drive slowly with a wrench or die stock, backing off periodically to clear chips.
