Each die features an integrated guide that aligns the die for threading, reducing the chance of cross threading while improving thread quality and accuracy.This guide design also makes cutting easier and adds 3 millimeters more steel at critical points, which translates to stronger dies that can stand up to tougher applications and heavier use. In addition, these reliable dies are constructed from durable, high-carbon steel.Versatile Components with Easy-to-Read Size MarkingsThis Metric Alignment set contains 17 dies, including dies with both coarse- and fine-metric thread pitches that range in size from 3 millimeters to 12 millimeters.
