    Dies

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dies. Dies.
    Rotate these dies around studs and rods to create new fastener threads. A cut above lower-quality dies that can leave inferior threads, these are machined in the U.S. to precise dimensions for accuracy and consistency.
    They are adjustable, so you can cut a shallow thread that makes it easier to get the die started on the first pass. Turn the set screw to open the die to its largest diameter. Then rotate the die with a round die wrench and adjust the screw as you make additional passes to reach the proper thread size.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel—The most versatile dies stay sharp and cut cleanly, even if you use them every day. They last much longer than carbon steel dies and you won’t have to work as hard to create threads.

    Thread-Repairing Dies

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dies. Thread-Repairing Dies.
    Rescue mangled threads and return them to like-new condition. By repairing threads, you don’t have to replace the fastener or resize holes. These dies smooth out flaws and remove rust so threads engage properly and connections stay strong. Turn them with a hex die wrench or a standard adjustable wrench.
    Don’t risk damaging threads further with an inferior-quality die. Our dies are machined in the U.S. to precise dimensions for a perfect thread profile.
    Uncoated Carbon Steel—Hard and wear resistant for a long life, these dies work well on both metal and plastic.

    Repair instead of replacing left-hand fasteners, which can be expensive and hard to find. These dies correct flaws and clean out rust so the threads engage properly. Don’t risk damaging threads further with an inferior quality die. Our dies are machined in the U.S. to precise dimensions for a perfect thread profile. Turn them with a hex die wrench or a standard adjustable wrench.

    Thread-Repairing Die Nuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dies. Thread-Repairing Die Nuts.
    If your wrench can turn a hex nut, it can turn these dies. They match the width of nuts of the same thread size, so you only need one tool to remove the nut, repair threads on the fastener, and put the nut back on. When space is tight, use dies with a ratcheting wrench since it requires minimal clearance to turn. Repairing dies remove imperfections and rust, resulting in threads that engage properly for a strong connection.

    Restore threads anywhere along the length of a bolt, stud, or rod with sets that include a wide variety of sizes. Since you clamp these dies into place, they're often used on extra-long fasteners or when you can't access the end of your workpiece. Dies smooth damage and clean threads so connections stay secure. Turn them with a hex die wrench or a standard adjustable wrench.

    Tap and Die Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tap and Die Sets.
    Use a single set for many sizes of internal and external threads. The taps and dies are for use on most metal and plastic.
    Carbon Steel—Carbon steel taps are for thread repair and occasional tapping.
    Plug Chamfer—Plug-chamfer taps are a versatile choice for most tapping applications. With 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, they require moderate torque and are often used for start-to-finish tapping of through holes and closed-end holes. However, they do not start threads as easily as taper-chamfer taps. When using them to tap closed-end holes, be sure to leave sufficient space at the bottom for chips to accumulate.
    Taper Chamfer—Taper-chamfer taps have 7-10 chamfered threads at the tip for cutting into the workpiece. They require less torque than other chamfer types, making them a good choice for starting threads and tapping through holes. However, a longer taper means that they cannot thread as close to the bottom of closed-end holes.
    Hex—Hex-shaped dies are for thread repair and can be used with conventional wrenches.
