    Left-Hand Dies

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dies. Left-Hand Dies.
    Make your own threads instead of searching for left-hand fasteners, which can be expensive and hard to find. 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 create 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 Carbon Steel—Our most economical dies, these are good for jobs that pop up. They work on most metal and plastic but will dull faster than high-speed steel dies.
    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.

    Left-Hand Thread-Repairing Dies

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dies. Left-Hand Thread-Repairing Dies.
    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.
    Uncoated Carbon Steel—Hard and wear resistant for a long life, these dies work well on both metal and plastic.

    Repair a range of left-hand thread sizes with the same wrenches used to remove nuts. The dies in these sets match the width of hex nuts with the same thread size, so one tool can turn both. By repairing left-hand fasteners, you avoid the hassle and cost of replacing them. Dies smooth damage and clean threads to ensure connections stay secure.
