Value Collection 367-0162 Hex Rethreading Die 1/4-28 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 367-0162 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners and threaded rod. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it cuts the 1/4-28 UNF thread profile with a right-hand direction, making it suitable for standard right-hand threaded fasteners common in mechanical and HVAC assemblies. The hex body allows use with a standard box-end wrench or rethreading die holder for controlled torque application. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals use this die to salvage bolts, studs, and fittings without full replacement.

This die is used in repair and maintenance applications where external threads on 1/4-inch diameter fasteners have been damaged by corrosion, cross-threading, or mechanical impact. Typical applications include equipment maintenance in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel work where threaded fasteners are regularly exposed to moisture or vibration. The 1/4-28 UNF specification is common on precision mechanical assemblies and light-duty equipment hardware.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction provides durability and resistance to wear during rethreading operations
• 1/4-28 UNF thread profile restores standard unified fine threads on 1/4-inch diameter fasteners
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener orientation
• Hex body allows engagement with a standard wrench for controlled, consistent torque
• Compact single-piece design suited for field repair and shop use

Compatibility

Designed for use on external 1/4-28 UNF right-hand threaded fasteners including bolts, screws, and studs. Fits standard rethreading die holders and hex-drive tools sized for the hex body of this die.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by machinists and maintenance technicians. Before use, secure the workpiece and apply cutting fluid to the die and fastener to reduce friction and improve thread quality. Turn the die slowly and back off periodically to clear chips. Do not force the die over severely deformed threads without first removing major burrs with a file.
