IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO - ACH 8465 1"-8 NC Hcs Hex Die
The IRWIN 8465 1"-8 NC Hcs Hex Die is a precision thread-cutting die engineered for consistent performance in automotive and industrial hand tool applications. Manufactured to tight tolerances, this hex die provides reliable thread restoration and new thread production on steel and alloy components. Its hardened carbon steel (Hcs) construction balances toughness and edge retention for repeated use in workshop environments.
Pliers And Sockets Compatibility
Designed for use with standard die stocks and compatible with many pliers and socket-handling accessories, the 8465 hex die installs quickly into die holders for controlled cutting. The hex shape simplifies gripping with adjustable pliers or wrench adapters, improving leverage and torque transfer during threading tasks. Ideal for mechanics who need a compact, durable die that pairs well with existing sockets and wrenches.
Professional Hand Tools And Heavy Duty Automotive Tools
This part is positioned for professional hand tools and heavy duty automotive tools use, offering a serviceable option for repair shops and maintenance teams. The die's 1"-8 NC thread size is common in many automotive and industrial assemblies, making it a practical addition to a technician's toolkit. Its Hcs material offers a cost-effective solution where high-volume production-grade dies are not required but durability and accuracy remain essential.
Performance notes: maintain proper cutting oil and moderate feed to preserve die life and ensure clean thread profiles. Inspect threaded fittings after cutting to confirm alignment and fit. The compact hex form factor reduces slippage when used with wrench-style holders and contributes to safer handling in tight spaces.
