"I get the die to where it seems to be straight but hand pressure doesn't come close to moving it, hit it with more lube and grip it with the pliers and start to turn it. The amount of force needed was significant enough to make me slightly worried so I grabbed my safety glasses, (hard metals can be brittle and I didn't want to risk anything if it shattered under pressure) and kept at it. It stayed pretty straight and finally hit the existing, functional section of threading and I was able to use hand pressure again."
"Slowly turn until it snugs up, then back and forth until it smooths out."
"After buying junk from sears that didn't work then buying dies at auto parts stores with no success I was about to spend $90 for one single die from Snap On until I found this."
"So I saved money for not buying extra tools to get this dye to work."
"I just threaded 12 inches of mild tool steel and it cut quite well."
"Works well for chasing threads."
"It looks like a thread chasing die, not a thread making die."
Bosch black oxide taps and dies offer superior durability and speed for most general-purpose applications. Heat-treated carbon steel provides long life and clean, accurate threads.
