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

Irwin Hanson 7/8 in. High Carbon Steel SAE Fraction Tap is the go-to tool for serious metalwork, delivering clean, reliable threads with every cut. Sized for an 7/8" NC 9 TPI thread and crafted from high carbon steel, this Hanson tap is designed for routine maintenance and dependable performance in steel and other hard metals.

  • 8-inch overall length provides extra reach for through-holes and deep cavities, reducing the need for extensions or awkward setups.
  • 4-flute design enhances chip evacuation and delivers smoother cutting, especially in tougher materials.
  • High carbon steel construction offers durability and wear resistance for repeated tapping in demanding shop environments.
  • 7/8" tap size with 9 TPI NC (National Coarse) thread, ideal for standard coarse-thread holes in metalwork and repairs.
  • Hanson by Irwin combines trusted tooling performance with practical value for maintenance tasks.
  • Bulk packaging, single tap ensures you have a reliable, ready-to-use tap on hand without tying up your budget.
  • Ideal for routine maintenance in workshops, garages, and fabrication shops where durable, repeatable tapping matters.

Practical usage notes to get optimum results:

  • Use the correct pre-tap drill size for 7/8-9 NC threads and correlate it with your material type for clean starts.
  • Apply a suitable cutting fluid to reduce heat, improve chip control, and extend the life of the tap.
  • Tap slowly and back off periodically to break chips and prevent binding or breakage.
  • Keep the workpiece steady and perpendicular to the tap to ensure true thread formation and avoid cross-threading.
  • After tapping, inspect the threads for uniform engagement and smooth operation in the assembled component.

This tap is ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists who need a dependable, long-lasting tool for repairing or creating precise threads in metal. Whether you're outfitting a maintenance shop or handling occasional fabrication projects, the Irwin Hanson 7/8 in. High Carbon Steel SAE Fraction Tap delivers the performance you can trust.

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.
