    Install tapping inserts into metal, plastic, and wood with these tools. They have hardened steel threads that grip the full length of the insert for strong, rigid support as the insert cuts threads. The result is a straight and stable install.
    Square Shank—These tools don’t have a handle. Attach them to a tap wrench to turn.
    Loosening Nut—After installation, this nut lets you unthread the tool without unthreading the insert.
