Hand taps and hand tap sets

Professional hand taps are used to achieve a complete, reliable screw thread in several steps. The hand taps from our range comply with general worldwide standards, including DIN and ISO. In addition to the difference in construction sizes, ISO and DIN hand taps also differ in their operation. Where a DIN hand tap cuts the screw thread to size radially in 3 steps, an ISO hand tap works towards the right end result using various lead lengths. Both versions of the hand tap have a metric shank diameter. 

The hand taps range comprises a value-for-money ECO model from International Tools or a top-quality specialised steam-tempered hand tap from Phantom. The steam-tempered hand tap reduces friction in tricky materials, thereby increasing the service life when used on these materials. The right hand tap is chosen by correctly estimating the use on the material to be threaded.
