    High-Speed Steel—The most versatile taps resist heat and wear to stay sharp. They’re good for most metals and plastic.
    Carbon Steel—The economical choice for occasional hand tapping. These work on most metals and plastic but will dull more quickly than other taps.
    Uncoated—The economical choice, these won't last as long as coated taps.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Run at higher speeds and last twice as long as uncoated taps.

    Chip-Clearing Pipe and Conduit Taps

    With widely spaced flutes, chips fall away from the tap and plenty of lubricant flows to the workpiece. These taps prevent buildup that can ruin threads and keep pipe and conduit from making strong connections. Also known as interrupted-thread taps.

    Chip-Clearing Pipe and Conduit Taps for Steel and Stainless Steel

    Made of a high-vanadium alloy, these taps are harder and more wear-resistant than other high-speed steel taps. The widely spaced flutes prevent buildup that can ruin threads and keep pipe and conduit from making strong connections. Also known as interrupted-thread taps.

    Chip-Clearing Pipe and Conduit Taps for Aluminum, Brass, and Bronze

    Slightly hooked cutting teeth grab and remove long chips from the hole. These taps prevent buildup from soft metals that can ruin threads and keep pipe and conduit from making strong connections.

    Tap and Die Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tap and Die Sets.
    Use a single set for many sizes of internal and external threads. The taps and dies are for use on most metal and plastic.
    Carbon Steel—Carbon steel taps are for thread repair and occasional tapping.
    High-Speed Steel—High-speed steel taps and dies last longer than carbon steel when used on similar material.
    Taper Chamfer—Taper-chamfer taps have 7-10 chamfered threads at the tip for cutting into the workpiece. They require less torque than other chamfer types, making them a good choice for starting threads and tapping through holes. However, a longer taper means that they cannot thread as close to the bottom of closed-end holes.
    Hex—Hex-shaped dies are for thread repair and can be used with conventional wrenches.
