In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Experience durable, dependable threading with the Irwin Hanson High Carbon Steel SAE Fraction Tap 1-8. Crafted for routine maintenance tasks, this tap delivers precise internal threads in metal, keeping assemblies secure and performing at their best.

  • Material and build: High carbon steel construction for enhanced hardness and wear resistance during repeated tapping jobs.
  • Size and thread: Fractional tap sized 1-8 with NC (National Coarse) threading, ideal for quick, reliable thread formation in a variety of metal projects.
  • Length: 5.5 inches overall, providing sturdy leverage and access in tight or awkward spaces.
  • Brand lineage: Part of the Irwin Hanson family, renowned for durable, long-lasting tapping tools trusted by professionals and serious DIYers alike.
  • Packaging and quantity: Sold as a single tap in bulk packaging, ready to tackle your next maintenance task without extra clutter.

This fractional tap is best used after drilling an appropriate pilot hole and applying standard cutting oil to optimize chip formation and thread quality. It’s designed for routine maintenance work—rebuilding or repairing internal threads in metal components, brackets, and housings where a clean, accurate thread is essential for secure fastener fitment.

Who benefits most: automotive technicians, machinists, hobbyists, and shop tasks that require dependable, repeatable tapping performance without frequent tool changes. The 1/8"-8 NC tap delivers a practical, long-lasting solution for restoring threads in steel, cast iron, and other common metals encountered in everyday projects.

Tips for best results: keep your tap perpendicular to the work, use a light touch to begin, and back off frequently to clear chips. Pair it with a quality tap handle and cutting oil to extend life and maintain precise thread alignment. When you’re done, inspect the finished hole for straightness and thread engagement to ensure a solid fastener fit.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
