Built for Real Farm Work

This die cuts the standard 3/8-16 threads you’ll find on everything from cultivator bolts to loader brackets. Whether you’re repairing damaged threads on existing bolts or making custom fasteners from threaded rod, this tool handles the job. It’s especially handy for shop-built implements and repairs where you need a specific length bolt that’s not available off the shelf.

Made to Last

Quality threading dies are built to withstand the pressure and heat that comes with cutting metal. The hardened steel cutting edges stay sharp through hundreds of uses, and the hex body won’t strip out under the torque needed to cut threads. This isn’t a tool you’ll wear out quickly with normal farm shop use.

Good to Know

Use cutting oil or even motor oil to lubricate the threads as you cut—it makes the job easier and gives you cleaner threads. Start the die square to the rod and back it off a quarter turn every full turn to break the chips. Clean threads cut easier, so wire brush any rust or paint off the rod before you start. Keep the die clean and it’ll serve you for years.
