The Irwin 9734 Metric Hexagon Die is a carbon steel threading tool designed for hand threading work on metric threads. This M8 x 1.25 die is ideal for routine maintenance, repair work, and rethreading in automotive repair, machinery, and general applications where metric threads are specified and high precision is not critical.
This hexagon die simplifies hand threading by accepting either a socket or wrench for turning, making it adaptable to different setups and work environments. Use it with a hexagon die stock for optimal performance, or employ it directly with a wrench or socket when space is limited.
