Meet the Steel Grip Steel Metric Tap and Die Set — a compact, purpose-built threading kit designed for reliable precision across six essential metric sizes: M3-0.5, M4-0.7, M5-0.8, M6-1.0, M7-1.0, and M8-1.25. This 13-piece collection is crafted in durable steel to stand up to repeated tightening and reversing in metalwork projects, from hobby builds to home shop repairs.
Why this kit stands out
- Six core metric sizes cover a broad range of common threaded applications, so you can tackle repairs and fabrications without swapping sets.
- Internal threads are produced with taps, external threads with dies, letting you handle both creation and restoration tasks in a single, organized kit.
- Carded packaging provides secure storage and easy shelf display, making it simple to grab the right size at a glance.
- Solid steel construction delivers durability and consistent performance through many jobs, helping you complete projects with confidence.
Practical applications
Whether you're rebuilding a bicycle component, repairing a power tool, or working on a metal enclosure, this metric tap and die set helps you restore function and accuracy. The six-thread-size range lets you pair components that were once misaligned or damaged, enabling clean takes on both new builds and maintenance tasks.
How to get the best results
- Start with a clean, properly aligned workpiece. Use a light touch to begin the cut, then advance gradually to achieve smooth threads.
- Use an appropriate backing block or waste piece to support the work and prevent thread gouging.
- To minimize heat and tool wear, apply moderate lubrication suitable for metal threading during use.
