Hand taps are the most commonly used general purpose tap. They are recommended for tapping free machining steels, stainless steels, aluminum, zinc, and ductile materials.

Plug taps have 3-5 chamfered threads and are utilized in either through or blind hole tapping.

The High Speed Steel (HSS) construction gives good wear-resistance.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Elizabeth H. ★★★★★

I work with a lot of different materials, and this plug tap cut through some tough stainless steel without any chatter or binding. The 3-5 chamfered lead made starting the thread clean and easy.

Ruby ★★★★★

The chamfered plug design really does the work for you—three passes and the tap pulled through a block of stainless without chattering once. Threads came out clean and consistent, exactly what I needed for a repair job.

Henry ★★★★★

Used these in a 4130 steel bracket and the plug style cut through clean without grabbing at the bottom. The three to five chamfered threads really help start the cut straight.
