M16 x 1.5 Rethreading Die

This carbon-steel hex die restores damaged or rusted threads on bolts and studs. It suits mechanics and DIY users who need a simple hand tool for shop or field maintenance. The metric thread profile matches M16 fasteners with a 1.5 pitch.

Hex Shape and Bright Finish

The six-sided body fits standard wrenches so no special holder is required. An uncoated surface cuts cleanly in steel and softer materials such as plastic. Right-hand cutting action follows conventional thread direction.

Thread Repair Capacity

The die cleans bruised threads and cuts new ones on M16 x 1.5 hardware. It handles occasional rework on steel and plastic but is not intended for high-volume production threading. Hardened or exotic alloys may exceed its practical cutting life.

Questions about this item

Will the carbon steel cutting edges need replacement after repeated use on steel?

Carbon steel wears faster than high-speed steel; expect to replace the die once the threads it cuts become undersized or the flutes dull beyond sharpening.

What limits continuous rethreading of M16 x 1.5 holes in a single session?

Heat buildup in the uncoated carbon steel body is the first limit; pause to let the die cool when the cutting action slows or the workpiece discolours.

How hot does the hex body get during all-day shop use?

The bright-finish carbon steel conducts heat quickly; the die will become too hot to hold bare-handed after several minutes of steady cutting, so use gloves or a holder.
