Cookie Notice

Tap: The tap is the bit that is used to form the threads within the hole. Hand taps come in three different configurations. Screw extractor: Since the metal used for the bit must be harder than the metal being cut, the hardening process the bit goes through ultimately causes brittleness, thus is susceptible to breakage. Since broken taps happen often, screw extractors will be a life saver. Tap handles: The handles are used to rotate the tap into the hole. They typically feature a mechanism that allows the bit to be held firmly in the center of the handles. Both tap and die handles come in a variety of sizes to accommodate many applications.

Verdict. This set has everything that a handyman could want and each tool is excellently crafted. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it nonetheless. Bottoming Taps. Because taps of this variety have no flattened threads at their beginning. They can be relied on to help you create high-quality thread all the way down your hole. The downside, however, is that this very feature also makes bottoming taps much more difficult to handle for beginners. With proper care, however, you can use them to finish the threads that you started using a taper tap and work them until they’re just right.

But for my use at home, this is a great set, and for what you get, a very good price. I could not touch an equally configured Irwin/Hansen set for this price point. I have also used this set and it does a very acceptable job for my needs. ProTip: The biggest cause of a broken tap or die is from not using a quality thread cutting oil or fluid such as Tap Magic. This product acts as a lubricant that increases tool life. It dramatically reduces the possibility of tap breakage, and produces cleaner, better finished threads with less effort. Taps and dies are used for two specific and similar purposes. Either you are cutting a threaded surface within a hole (a threaded hole) or you are cutting a threaded surface on the piece being inserted into the hole (bolt). Taper Taps. These taps are best for beginners because they are the easiest to use. They have small, flat threads and require the smallest application of force to get them going, which is why they are often called starter taps. It is relatively easy to start a blind hole with them. Should you so desire, you can use other taps to perfect and refine threads that you started using a taper tap.
