Source for individual rethreading die?

[Lucid Moments]

I have the Lisle rethreading tap and die kit and have misplaced my M8 X 1.25 die from it. Does anyone know of a place to source the one die?

 

[Lucid Moments]

Correction it is the Lang rethreading kit.

 

[Lucid Moments]

And it really helps when you look for the tool under the right name. I had looked for it under Lisle and couldn't find it, but a very brief search under the correct name and I have an inexpensive replacement on its way from Lang. Sorry to waste anyone's time.

I'm sorry I but I must be missing something. I've never bought rethreading taps/dies before. Why are they so cheap?

Tolerance in threading tools can be looser or tighter. A rethreading die is not going to cut new threads. It will help straighten bent threads, maybe shave a little metal off existing deformed threads, and not see a great deal of load, nor teeth stress. It's not going to need to be as precise a tool as a thread-cutting die. So they can be made with less overall work and cost.

Lang/Kastar also warranty their own rethreading sets.

Buy a suitable replacement and you'll find the missing die in less than a week or two. Don't ask me how I know.

But I don't think they warranty them against me being a ******* and loosing parts.

I fully expect to have two of the one I replaced shortly after the replacement comes in. I know how that works. On the flip side if I never ordered a replacement the misplaced part would never show back up again.

Yeah probably not. I was just commenting that you can still get warranty support with the oem brand.
