Spark Plug Thread Taps

Use these high-speed steel taps to cut and repair threads in the sizes needed to accept spark plugs.

Taps

General Purpose Taps

Cut threads into most metal and plastic.

Left-Hand General Purpose Taps

Tap threads for left-hand threaded fasteners.

Hex Shank Taps for Drills and Screwdrivers

Insert these taps directly into drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank.

Hex Shank Combination Drill
Bits/Taps for Drills and Screwdrivers

With a drill bit point to drive into the workpiece, these taps can drill and tap holes in a single step. A 1/4" hex shank connects them directly to tools such as drills and power screwdrivers.

Taps with Two Threading Ends

With a taper chamfer and bottoming chamfer at opposite ends, these taps start threads easily and are good for threading close to the bottom of closed-end holes.

Chip-Clearing Taps for Through Holes

Keep chips clear while tapping. Also known as gun taps, these have spiral-point flutes that push chips ahead of the tap and out of through holes.

Taps for Aluminum, Brass, and Plastic

Coated with chromium carbide or titanium carbonitride (TiCN), these cobalt steel taps cut smoothly through soft material to produce accurate threads.

Taps for Nickel

To tap nickel and other hard material, these cobalt steel taps have high cutting strength. Their flutes are designed to keep chips clear, so they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup.

Taps for Steel and Stainless Steel

These taps are made of cobalt steel for higher strength and wear resistance than standard taps. Their flutes are designed to keep chips clear, so they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup.

Pipe and Conduit Thread Taps

Create threads sized for pipe and conduit.

Spark Plug Thread Repair Tools

Attach these tools to a socket wrench to restore rusted and damaged spark plug threads in two common sizes.

Tap Sets

These taps are for use on most metal and plastic.

Left-Hand Tap Sets

For start-to-finish tapping of left-hand threads, these sets include one taper-, one plug-, and one bottoming-chamfer tap.

Hex-Shank Tap Sets for Drills and Screwdrivers

Multiple tap sizes allow tapping a range of hole diameters. Connect these taps directly to drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank.
