The selection of straight flute hand taps from Caulfield Industrial is a small part of our massive online selection of useful tools, designed and selected to make your life easier. Hand taps are used to cut or repair the thread of the female portion as found in nuts, as opposed to the male parts, on screws for example.
The process is known as tapping and precision tools are required to perform this precision driven task. A hand tap can also be used to clean up threads in a process called chasing.
At Caulfield Industrial, we understand the difference a high-quality tool makes in the life of professionals or DIY handymen, which is why we stock professional grade tools. We carry a large selection of hand taps available as individual pieces or in sets of three, or in an assortment of different sizes.
