Irwin Hanson Plug Tap

The Irwin Hanson Plug Tap line offers hand taps for cutting internal threads in drilled holes. Plug taps (also called plug chamfer taps) have a moderate chamfer that starts the thread gradually and makes alignment easier. That makes them a common choice for through holes and for blind holes that have enough depth. They are often used as the second tap in a three-tap sequence, or on their own for general-purpose threading.

Key Features:

• Plug chamfer design for controlled, easy thread starting
• Made from high carbon steel or high speed steel, depending on the item
• Fluted construction that clears chips and helps maintain thread quality
• Suited to hand tapping with a tap wrench in maintenance, repair, fabrication and shop work
• Made by Irwin Hanson, a respected name in taps, dies and threading tools

Irwin Hanson plug taps give mechanics, machinists and DIY users a dependable way to create or restore internal threads. Individual items in the line differ in thread size, pitch and tap material, so check the specifications of the variant you choose.
