I got this to clean up threads on used bolts for reuse. It wouldn't thread itself on the bolts that would fit 5/16-18 NC bolt holes. Also, it won't thread onto new bolts of the same size either. Just to see, I tried it on a 8mm coarse threaded bolt and it wouldn't fit that either.

I have used Hanson taps and dies in the past and they work well for me. Normally, they last quite a long time as well. I haven't had or used this item long enough to say it will perform the same, but I would expect that it will.

I got this 9427 and 6527. They are both marked Hanson. There is no Irwin mark on the die itself. If you get both and took them out of the bag and now you do not know which is what, on mine 9427 has a "NC" after "5/16-18", while 6527 does not. Besides that they look identical. This one comes in the nice package, 6527 in just a plastic bag. This one is more than double in price!Is the packaging justifying the double price?Actually the package is the minor difference. The two dies are completely different when it comes to doing the work. The cheap one went dull after cutting less than 1/4" length of thread in quality stainless steel. The expensive one cut the rest of 2" and still has life in it, although you can feel it is worn now. It will still do mild steel just fine but is a bit dull for clean threads in stainless.So ... if you are looking to clean some threads in either regular or stainless steel, get the cheap one to save.If you need to cut some new thread in mild steel, again get the cheap one.If you need to cut a lot of new thread, or more importantly you need to cut new thread in stainless steel make sure you get the expensive one or you'll be sorry.And don't forget cutting oil. Don't even think about new threads in stainless steel without it!

If you have the smaller Irwin/Hanson kit that goes up to 1/4" - be advised that this die requires a larger 1" die wrench. The wrench from the smaller kit will not fit. Amazon doesn't seem to carry the 1" die wrench - but they are about 20 bucks at the big orange hardware store. Given the diameter of the die - this makes sense, but was a bit of a surprise when I first went to use it. Not a fault of the vendor or the item - just not what I expected.
