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 Hexagon Die 9/16-12 NC is a dependable choice for professional metalworkers who need durable, precise external threading. Crafted from high carbon steel, this hex die is built to resist wear and maintain sharp cutting edges through demanding projects, delivering consistent threads time after time.

  • Die size and thread: 9/16-12 NC (National Coarse) external thread — perfect for shaping a 9/16" diameter rod to 12 threads per inch.
  • Material: High carbon steel for long-lasting cutting performance and reliable results in metalworking tasks.
  • Shape and seating: Hexagon design ensures stable seating in a die stock and even pressure during cutting, reducing chatter and misalignment.
  • Length: 1.44 inches overall, offering a compact, controllable cut in tight spaces.
  • Packaging: Clamshell packaging for single-piece convenience and safe storage.
  • Drill bit included: No — designed to work with standard threading dies in your existing toolkit.
  • Best use: Ideal for metalworking applications that require reliable external threads on rods and bolts, including repairs, fabrication, and custom fasteners.
  • Who benefits: Auto/industrial shops, machinists, maintenance technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who demand consistent threads and durable tooling.

Why choose this Milwaukee hex die? It combines the proven performance of high carbon steel with a hex geometry that stabilizes cutting action, helping you achieve clean, accurate threads on the first pass. The 9/16-12 NC size covers a common coarse-thread specification, making it a practical addition to any die stock for everyday metalworking tasks.

Practical tips for best results:

  • Lubricate with appropriate cutting oil to reduce heat and extend die life.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly and align the die square to the axis to prevent cross-threading.
  • Begin with a light pass to establish the thread, then increase pressure gradually until the desired depth is reached.
  • Withdraw and clean chips regularly to prevent binding and ensure a smooth 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.
