Metric Hand Tap Set: Thread Size: M16 x 2 (Right Hand); Square Shank Width: 10mm / 0.39"; Thread Length: 33mm / 1.3"; Overall Length: 96mm / 3.78"; Precision: H2. Made from M2 (6542) high-speed steel, these taps offer high hardness, good durability, wear resistance, and excellent cutting performance.
Three styles: Tapered Tap: Initiates and guides the thread into the workpiece. Commonly used for tapping through holes. Plug Tap: Creates deeper threads than tapered taps and is suitable for through-hole and blind-hole applications. Bottom Tap: Generates threads near the bottom of blind holes.
Widely Used: The hand tap set is used to rethread damaged or clogged threads or to create new threads. Suitable for through or shallow holes in mild steel, aluminum, iron, copper, and hard plastic. Provides quick down-thread chip removal.
Hand Threading Tap: The tapping tool kit is mainly used by hand and is used with a tap wrench. Use proper cutting lubricant or oil during the tapping process to achieve higher quality threads and a more durable screw tap.
Tip: Ensure correct alignment, use proper tapping technique, and apply constant pressure while rotating the tap to create clean, precise threads. Reverse periodically while tapping to disperse chips from the flutes, prevent clogging, and ensure smooth operation.

Description: Made of M2 (6542) high-speed steel, this hand tap set offers high hardness, good durability, wear resistance, and excellent cutting performance. Uncoated thread taps are suitable for a wide range of applications. They produce clear, burr-free threads and feature a universal square shank. Three styles are available: Tapered Tap: Initiates and guides threads into the workpiece. They are commonly used for tapping through holes. Plug Tap: Creates deeper threads than tapered taps and is suitable for through-hole and blind-hole applications. Bottom Tap: Produces threads near the bottom of blind holes. Hand tap sets are used to rethread damaged or clogged threads or to create new threads. They are suitable for through-hole or shallow holes in mild steel, aluminum, iron, copper, and hard plastic. Straight-edge taps provide quick, downward chip removal for efficient thread creation. Tapping tool kits are primarily intended for manual use and are used with a tap wrench. Using an appropriate cutting lubricant or oil during the tapping process produces higher-quality threads and a more durable scuff.
Tip: Ensure correct alignment, use proper tapping technique, and apply consistent pressure while rotating the tap to create clean, accurate threads. Reverse periodically while tapping to disperse chips from the flutes, prevent clogging, and ensure smooth operation.
