In Focus: JME Innovations Split Rethreading dies
The American-made two-piece JME Innovations Split Rethreading Dies can repair damaged threads on studs, drive shafts and struts without having to remove the part. Using a die stock, socket or a “gear wrench” to get the job done, this two-piece die can be placed anywhere there are good threads, and repair the threads from the bottom up, or the traditional way from the top down.
Selling points

- Because the dies can be split in half and put back together, rethreading can be done on many studs without removing them from the vehicle.
- Can be used to repair thew individual sections of bolts and studs that are damaged.
Features and benefits
- Come in 10 different kits, 41 individual dies.
- Allows the technician to attach the die anywhere below the damaged threads, eliminating the danger of cross threading.
- The dies are not held together by a band or spring, allowing them to be "clicked" together without any need to replace parts in the future.
