Self-Aligning Taps with Chip Breaking TechnologyTapping and threading jobs demand accuracy, and Irwin's Metric Alignment Taps with 3-millimeter to 12-millimeter Thread Pitches are designed to start straight and create straight threads every time. Featuring a redesigned chamfer, each tap is able to align itself in the hole to deliver accurate results with a less complicated setup on your part.
Each tap also features Irwin's unique Chip Break Technology, which makes breaking off chips easier, along with an increased flute taper that makes the tap more durable. In addition, these reliable taps are constructed from durable high-carbon steel.
Versatile Components with Easy-to-Read Size Markings
This Metric Alignment set contains 16 metric taps that range in size from 3 millimeters to 12 millimeters, including taps with both coarse- and fine-thread pitches. The side of each tap features large, easy-to-read markings that include both the tap size and the recommended drill-bit size for use with the tap. These markings are laser etched so they won't wear off, which means that you'll never be left guessing in the middle of a job.

These taps are part of the modular Irwin Industrial Tools - Hanson Performance Threading System (PTS). The components of this system are packaged so that you can choose the elements of a tap and die kit that you need without having to buy parts you don't need. Besides the taps included in this set, this system features taps with SAE alignment pitches, a full range of easy-to-use self-aligning dies, and a revamped drive-tool system.
With its die-lock, ergonomic die handle, which accepts two different adjustable tap sockets, this drive-tool set makes it easier to handle a wide variety of threading applications.
Modular Case System Keeps You Organized

The case closes securely for transport, and at a thickness of just 1-1/2 inches, it is compact enough to fit neatly into your tool box or a workbench drawer. In addition, it has a clear, detachable lid that allows easy access to your tools when you need them.
