CH Hanson high-carbon-steel hexagon die for cutting and chasing standard machine screw threads. The hexagonal body lets you drive the die with a standard wrench, socket, or hex die stock, making it ideal for tight spaces where a conventional round die and die stock will not fit.

• Thread size: 3/8-16 NC (National Coarse)
• High-carbon-steel construction holds an edge through repeated cuts
• Hexagon body drives with a wrench, socket, or hex die stock
• Cuts new external threads and chases or repairs damaged threads
• Well-suited to maintenance, repair, and assembly work
• For use on mild steel, brass, aluminum, and other soft metals

Tip: Apply cutting oil when threading steel or brass, and back the die off a half-turn periodically to clear chips and prevent binding.
