Solid carbide provides more rigidity than carbide-tipped tools.

The carbide tip brazed onto the ground steel shanks of these tools is more wear resistant than high-speed steel.

When cutting threads in nonferrous and nonmetallic materials, such as aluminum, copper, fiberglass, and plastic, diamond tips provide superior cutting performance.

Machine plastic and most metal with these high-speed steel tools.

Install these inserts into a compatible holder to cut external or internal threads on a workpiece.

Pair these holders with a threading insert or a grooving insert to make cuts on the inside of a hollow workpiece.

These tools come with one high-speed steel insert for use on steel and stainless steel and one high-speed steel insert for use on softer materials, such as aluminum and brass. When one point of an insert dulls, rotate it to use a sharp point.

Cut threads into most metal and plastic.

Tap threads for left-hand threaded fasteners.

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.

Clear chips while tapping deep and hard-to-reach holes. These taps have an extra-long shank for extended reach.

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

Drill holes and cut threads without switching tools.

Insert these taps directly into drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank.

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.

Coated with chromium carbide or titanium carbonitride (TiCN), these cobalt steel taps cut smoothly through soft material to produce accurate threads.

Create threads sized for pipe and conduit.

Tap left-hand threads 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.

With a taper chamfer on one threading end and a bottoming chamfer on the other, these pipe and conduit taps can start threads easily, and they are able to thread close to the bottom of closed-end holes.

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.

The cutting teeth are shaped to cut smooth threads in soft pipe and conduit material.

Use with a tap to thread holes by hand. These wrenches are more compact than straight-handle tap wrenches, so they can be used to tap in tighter spaces.

Connect a tap to these wrenches for occasional or light-duty hand tapping. All have a T-handle design, so they're more compact than straight-handle tap wrenches but provide less leverage.

For occasional or light-duty hand tapping, connect a tap to these wrenches. They have long handles to provide more leverage than T-handle wrenches, but they require more space for tapping.

Powered by compressed air, these tap wrenches thread holes faster and with less effort than manual tap wrenches.

Sets include multiple holders for use with different tap sizes. These holders work like sockets to connect taps to ratchet wrenches.

Connect these extensions to your tap for greater access to hard-to-reach areas. Sets include nine extensions to fit different tap sizes.

Extend the length of your tap to access hard-to-reach areas.

Restore bolt, hole, pipe, and conduit threading with this set of four files.

Repair rusted and damaged threads in pipe and conduit. These files are for use in most hole diameters.

These tools have adjustable blades to repair any inch or metric thread size. Use them on threaded holes with an ID from 5/16" to 1-1/4" or 8 mm to 32 mm.

Insert the retriever into a tapped hole and pull out to remove chips.

After using a large-diameter bit to drill a starter hole in a broken tap, drill out the tap with one of these tools. Sets include multiple removers for use with different tap sizes and two picks for removing the remains.

To extract taps of different sizes, these sets include multiple extractors. Use them with a tap wrench to remove taps with straight flutes from the workpiece without damaging the surrounding threads.

Use these dies to create external threads on bolts, studs, and rods.

Grip compatible die heads to cut external pipe and conduit threads by hand.

Each set includes a ratchet with handle, die heads, and dies. Use them to cut NPT threads in steel pipe and conduit by hand.

Use with Ridgid Electric Pipe and Conduit Threaders and Ridgid Hand-Held Electric Pipe and Conduit Threaders to thread pipe and conduit sizes of 2-1/2, 3, 3-1/2, and 4.

Thread, cut, and ream pipe and conduit with these machines.

Add or replace parts such as die sets, power drives, and die head adapters on Ridgid Pipe and Conduit Threaders.

The teeth on these high-speed steel dies are designed to cut through stainless steel.

Use these dies with Ridgid pipe and conduit threader die heads on Ridgid pipe and conduit threaders.

Repair the broad, square threads on Acme threaded studs and rods. These dies are for general purpose Acme threads with a Class 2G thread fit.

A smaller width than standard hex dies lets you repair threads in tight spaces.

With a smaller width than regular hex dies, these dies are suitable for repairing rusted and damaged left-hand threads in tight spaces.

Renew rusted and damaged pipe and conduit threads.

Clamp onto threaded rod, pipe, and conduit from the side to repair threads in tight spaces and where threaded ends are not exposed.

One file restores pipe and conduit threads in many sizes.

Also known as die stocks, these wrenches grip round dies so you can turn them by hand.

These taps are for use on most metal and plastic.

Sets include multiple tap sizes for threading different hole diameters.

Create pipe and conduit threads in a range of hole diameters.

Drill and tap a variety of hole sizes. These taps and drill bits are for use on metal and plastic.

Cut and repair threads and drill holes in many different sizes. Tap and die wrenches are included.

Repair screw threads in a wide range of sizes.

Clamp these dies around your workpiece, so you can start thread repair anywhere along the length of a bolt, stud, or rod.

Renew external threads in a wide range of sizes. The dies in these sets have a narrower width than standard dies, making them a good choice for thread repair in tight spots.

Inserts come with a through-hole tap and installation tool.

These kits have short-, normal-, and long-reach inserts, an installation tool, and a tap.

Made of nickel alloy, these inserts are more resistant to acids and salt water than stainless steel inserts.

Kits include helical inserts, a tap, and an installation tool.

These inserts have a high strength-to-weight ratio and resist acids and salt water better than nickel alloy and stainless steel inserts.

Made of Nitronic 60 stainless steel, these inserts prevent the screw from binding or sticking without any coating or lubricant that could contaminate particle-free environments.

A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation.

Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these inserts have good corrosion resistance.

These inserts come with an installation tool. Drive the keys into the surrounding material for a more secure hold than thread-locking inserts.

A closed-end tap, drill bit, and installation bit are included with these inserts.

These assortments include various sizes of thread-locking inserts.
