Threading tool AWTools AW20214, handheld die/rod type, weight 80 g

The AWTools AW20214 handheld threading tool is a compact die/rod type tool for cutting or restoring external right‑hand metric threads on rods and bolts. Made of HSS M2 high speed steel with a hardness of 65° HRC (±1°), the tool is designed to cut threads in a single pass and comes supplied in a plastic case. Its low weight of 80 g and compact form factor make it suitable for situations where a portable manual thread‑forming tool is needed.

Advantages

The use of HSS M2 high speed steel with 65° HRC provides durability and wear resistance for repeated manual operations. The die/rod design enables simple handling and control during cutting or restoring of external threads. A single‑pass cutting action reduces the time required for thread formation and simplifies the operation. The included plastic case protects the tool in storage and transport.

Suitable for

• Cutting or repairing external right‑hand metric threads on rods and bolts
• Light workshop and home DIY metalworking tasks
• Portable field repairs where a compact, lightweight tool is required
• Tasks requiring a manual threading solution without power tools

How to use

Secure the rod or bolt in a vise or similar fixture to prevent rotation. Align the threading tool squarely with the workpiece and apply steady axial pressure while turning the tool to begin cutting the thread. Maintain even rotation and moderate feed to allow the single‑pass cutting geometry to form the profile cleanly. Withdraw the tool periodically to clear chips if necessary and inspect the thread for correct engagement and pitch. Clean and lightly oil the finished thread to protect the cutting surface and the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves. Select compatible thread diameter and pitch before starting work and avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the tool or workpiece. Store the tool dry in its plastic case to prevent corrosion and retain cutting performance.
