Cut threads into most metal and plastic.

Often used for thread repair and occasional hand tapping, these carbon steel taps can thread holes in most metal and plastic, but they have a shorter tool life than standard taps.

The spiral flute design pulls chips back toward the tap, so chips won't accumulate in closed-end holes.

With a taper chamfer and bottoming chamfer at opposite ends, these taps start threads easily and are good for threading close to the bottom of closed-end holes.

Create threads sized for pipe and conduit.

Also known as short-projection taps, these have fewer tapered threads at the tip than standard pipe taps, so you don't have to drive them as deep to produce full threads.

The spiral flutes on these pipe and conduit taps keep chips clear by drawing them back out of the hole, so there's no need to reverse the tap while cutting threads.

Produce metric threads that meet Japanese Industrial Standards.

Also known as National Gas Outlet (NGO) taps, these tap threads in sizes used for compressed gas cylinders and valves.
