Features:
- This type of tool can be used to clean up threads and this process is referred to as chasing
- The function of a tap is to cut a thread on the inside of a hole that allows you to then screw bolts or screws into the opening
- In order for spiral flute hand taps to perform this function effectively, they have to be constructed from extremely strong and durable metals
- When using a hand tap, it is extremely important to accurately align the tap with the hole which you intend to thread, as tapping a hole at an angle or out of alignment will further damage the thread
