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.

Keep chips clear while tapping. Also known as gun taps, these have spiral-point flutes that push chips ahead of the tap and out of through holes.

Drill holes and cut threads without switching tools.

These taps are made of cobalt steel for higher strength and wear resistance than standard taps. Their flutes are designed to keep chips clear, so they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup.

Create threads sized for pipe and conduit.

Cut threads in PG thread sizes commonly used for European conduit.

The coil-style threads produced by these taps are shallower and more widely spaced than standard thread sizes. Use them for quick threading action with compatible fasteners.

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