Hand Taps

Hand taps are precision tools used in threading operations, particularly in metalworking. These tools are designed to cut or form threads into a pre-drilled hole or an existing threaded hole in various materials, including metals, plastics, and wood. Hand taps typically feature a threaded, tapered, or straight design with cutting flutes, which help create uniform and precise threads.

Using hand taps requires skill and careful operation, as improper technique can result in damaged threads. These tools are commonly used in workshops, manufacturing, and maintenance tasks for creating threaded holes that accommodate bolts, screws, and other fasteners. Hand taps come in various sizes and thread profiles, making them versatile tools for achieving secure and functional threaded connections.
