Thread Restoration Tools For Fast & Reliable Repairs

A damaged thread does not always mean a component needs replacing. In many maintenance situations, restoring the existing thread can save time, reduce material waste & keep equipment repairs moving.

CTD Die Nuts are designed for cleaning, repairing & restoring external threads where fasteners have become damaged, worn or difficult to assemble.

Unlike full threading setups used for creating new threads, die nuts provide a practical solution for maintenance professionals who need to recover existing threads quickly.
