Overview

The Irwin 9738 is listed under Threadings with a plastic body, brushed finish, and an item weight of just 0.16 ounces in a one size format. That combination of light plastic construction and minimal weight points to a small measuring or checking tool rather than a metal cutting die.

Full metal thread taps and dies typically weigh far more than 0.16 ounces, so the plastic material and near zero weight here suggest this is more likely a thread gauge or pitch checker. No seller description is attached to confirm the exact function.

Who it's for

May suit buyers who already know Irwin's 9738 is a small threading reference tool and want a compact, lightweight option. Not suitable for anyone expecting a metal tap, die, or cutting tool, given the plastic material listed.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very lightweight at 0.16 ounces
Cons
  • Plastic construction rules out use as a cutting tap or die
  • No purchases recorded in the past month
  • No description to confirm exact function

Performance notes

Plastic construction and a brushed finish keep the tool light and easy to carry, though plastic will not hold up to the cutting forces a metal tap or die endures.
