Irwin Hanson Hexagon Re-Threading Die - NF Right Hand

The Irwin Hanson Hexagon Re-Threading Die (NF, right hand) is a hand-threading tool for restoring damaged, rusted, or dirty external threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod. It is also called a rethreading die or thread chaser die. It works on fine-pitch (National Fine, NF) fasteners and cuts a standard right-hand thread.

Key Features:

• Hexagon outer profile fits a standard die stock or wrench for easy turning in the shop or the field
• National Fine (NF) thread form for fine-pitch fasteners
• Right-hand thread direction
• Designed for re-threading and cleaning up existing threads, such as those damaged by cross-threading, corrosion, paint, or burrs
• Hanson tooling is made by Irwin, a long-established maker of hand threading tools

Keep a few of these dies in the toolbox for automotive, motorcycle, marine, RV, and powersports repairs. They can often save a damaged bolt or stud that would otherwise need replacing. Using cutting oil and backing the die off periodically will help clear chips and extend die life.
