Overview
This 8 piece metric tap set is machined from high speed steel and weighs 8.8 ounces total. It's sold as plug style hand taps for cutting or cleaning up internal metric threads.
Plug taps have a longer taper than bottoming taps, which makes them easier to start by hand while still reaching most standard thread depths. That design fits general repair work more than jobs needing a single exact size.
- 8 piece set
- High speed steel
- 8.8 ounce total weight
- Plug style metric taps
Who it's for
Fits anyone repairing stripped threads or cutting new metric threads by hand in metal, plastic or wood. Not the right pick for a job needing one specific size, since this is sold as a mixed set.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- High speed steel resists wear under repeated use
- 8 piece set covers a range of metric sizes
- Plug style taps are easier to start by hand
- Exact sizes included aren't listed
- Hand tapping only, not for power tool use
Performance notes
High speed steel resists wear better than basic carbon steel taps, and the plug style geometry makes the taps easier to start by hand before working down into the hole.
