131PCS Sae and Metric Coated Bearing Steel Tap and Die Rethreading Kit

This tap and die set is designed to thread cutting: tap is used to process internal thread, while the die is for external thread. Please check it out of the pictures tap and die set is one of those toolboxes that are not immediately intuitive to have but become essential to your work once you have it.

It does not matter if you are a mechanic, a craftsman, a metal or woodworker, or even a DIY enthusiast, a tap and die set would be remarkably useful to you. Taps and dies are cutting tools used to create threads on components such as screws, bolts, nuts and to create a threaded hole to screw components into.

A tap is a threaded tool that cuts or forms threads in the female portion of a mating pair. Therefore, a tap will create threads in the inside of a hole. On the other hand, a die is a threaded tool that cuts or forms threads in the male portion of a mating pair. Therefore, a die will create threads on a cylindrical rod's surface to create a screw or bolt. Both a tap and a die create new threads or repair damaged threads.

Some sets may contain twist-lock guides, coarse and fine taps, and other tools at a higher cost. Instead of other kits which are made of low carbon steel, our kit are made of bearing steel which are more stronger, good abrasion performance.

An overall chromium coating improves the corrosion resistance of the generally used through-hardening bearing steel. These cutting materials are suitable for threading steel, cast steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics, softwood, and hardwood. Known for their ability to start easily, these taps and dies are the most commonly used style and are perfect for most hand threading applications.
