In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Milwaukee High Carbon Steel SAE Hex Die 12-24 NC is engineered for precision threading on metal rods and bolts, delivering reliable performance in demanding shops and fabrication projects. Built from hardened high-carbon steel, this die stands up to frequent use, maintaining clean, accurate threads project after project.

Designed for hand threading, the hexagonal die fits into standard die stocks (not included) and provides stable alignment to minimize chatter and pitch deviation. The 12-24 NC thread size is a common SAE coarse thread, making this tool a versatile addition to any metalworking kit and ideal for quick on-site repairs or fabrication tasks.

Product highlights

  • Material and durability: high-carbon steel, heat-treated for longevity and wear resistance to keep thread forms sharp through many cycles.
  • Thread size: external threading in SAE 12-24 NC, perfect for restoring damaged threads or creating new ones on steel rods.
  • Format and fit: hex die design for stable grip and precise alignment; compact ~1 inch length for tight spaces and hand use.
  • Packaging: carded packaging for easy display and inventory in professional shops.
  • Usage notes: no drill bit included; pair with a die stock and appropriate cutting oil to extend tool life and improve finish.

Use cases

Repair damaged external threads on bolts or rods in automotive, machinery, or maintenance work. Create new threaded ends on cut rods to mate with nuts, couplings, or fasteners. Ideal for field repairs where a full tapping setup isn’t practical and a compact, reliable tool is needed.

Why this Milwaukee die stands out

Compared with lighter, lower-cost options, Milwaukee’s high-carbon die offers longer tool life and consistently accurate threadforms. The one-piece hex design minimizes wobble and ensures the correct pitch, reducing the need for rework. Whether you’re a professional technician, a machinist, or a DIYer tackling maintenance tasks, this die provides dependable performance and straightforward operation.

Practical tip: lubricate with cutting oil, apply steady pressure, and rotate smoothly. Periodically back off to break chips, and clean the workpiece before threading to ensure a true, clean cut.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
