Tekton Tap and Die Set Plug Taps. Plug taps are meant to strike a balance between the features of both taper and bottoming taps. They have some flattened tapered threads at their beginnings, but not as many as taper taps do. This means that the difficulty of using them to start is somewhere between that of a taper tape and a bottoming tap. Plug taps do have one significant advantage over taper taps, though: they are better to use in blind holes because you can get complete threads with them sooner. b) To have accepted that lots are sold with all faults and imperfections specifically mentioned or not irrespective of whether they bid in person, by commission, online or through an agent.

This tap and die set is made of tungsten alloy high speed steel and is desired for its ability to start a thread easily, whether that be cutting new material or chasing lightly damaged threads. With proper technique and the right lubricant, these taps and dies will cut mild carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and bronze. 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. 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.

Overall, I think this set is a winner. I understand that it is not an Irwin/Hansen or even higher quality set. But for my use, that is OK and I expect to get many years of use from this set. I already have a much smaller, very cheap quality Tap and Die set that I've owned for 30+ years. Take care of your tools, use some finesse vs brute force, use cutting fluid, etc. and you can get many years even from a lesser quality Tap and Die set. : Verdict. This is an excellent, versatile, and high-quality tap and die set.

Different sets may be denominated according to the Metric system, based on European sizes, or according to SAE, which is based on U.S. sizes. If your set isn’t denominated in the right way, you won’t be able to fit your holes and threads to your nuts or bolts. If possible, try to find a set with dual Metric and SAE compatibility. 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.
