Our ANSI HSS Hand Tap Set comes with three individual hand taps: Taper Tap, Plug Tap and Bottoming Tap, a complete solution for manual threading operations for both through holes and blind holes.
Taper Tap: Long chamfered lead for easy starting, ideal to initiate new threads and prevent chipping at hole entrance.
Plug Tap: Medium chamfer length for general‑purpose threading after taper tap.
Bottoming Tap: Short chamfer, designed to cut full‑depth threads at the bottom of blind holes.
Made from premium HSS (High‑Speed Steel), these hand taps feature sharp cutting edges, good hardness and wear‑resistance for long service life. Square drive end works with standard tap wrench for manual turning. All taps are manufactured following ANSI specification to guarantee precise thread dimension consistency. The transparent plastic storage box keeps taps organized, protected and easy to carry.
