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 — 14-20 NS is engineered for professional-grade external threading on standard SAE rods. Crafted from high carbon steel and heat-treated for enhanced wear resistance, this hex die delivers consistent, clean threads project after project.

Designed for durability and reliability in metalworking, the 14-20 NS die stays square against the workpiece to minimize wandering and mis-threading. Its hex form provides a stable grip during turning, reducing the risk of slippage even when applying varying cutting pressure.

  • External threading for rods and fasteners: cuts male threads on the outside diameter for reliable mating with nuts, couplings, and fittings.
  • Material stability: high carbon steel offers longer tool life and edge retention under cutting pressure.
  • SAE compatibility: sized for common SAE thread standards, making it a versatile choice in automotive, machinery, and general metalworking.
  • Die size: 14-20 NS precisely matched to the intended thread profile for consistent results.
  • Packaging and quantity: comes in clamshell packaging for secure storage and easy display; 1 die per package.
  • Usage note: drill bit not included; intended to be used with a die stock or wrench designed for threading work.

What sets this Milwaukee hex die apart is its combination of rugged construction and precise machining. The heat-treated high-carbon steel resists flank wear and deformation, which means fewer reworks and a quicker path to perfectly threaded rods. It’s especially valuable for repairs on damaged studs, fabricating custom hardware, or fabricating components in automotive and industrial projects where dependable, repeatable threads matter.

Ideal for: professional machinists, automotive enthusiasts, metal fabricators, and serious DIYers who need reliable external threads on SAE components. Use it to extend the life of existing hardware, create custom length rods with matching nuts, or repair stripped threads with a clean, true finish.

Quick tips for best results:

  • Lubricate with cutting oil to minimize heat buildup and extend die life.
  • Securely fit the die in a die stock or wrench to maintain alignment and steady pressure.
  • Start with light pressure and steady, even turns; if binding occurs, back off and re-lubricate before continuing.
  • Cut on clean, straight stock and wipe away chips frequently for smooth threading.

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.
