Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the normal purpose of a tap and die set? A: A tap is used to cut internal threads into a hole, while a die is used to cut external threads on a rod or bolt. This left-hand set is intended for creating or repairing threads that tighten counterclockwise.

Q: What should you confirm before using this set? A: Verify that the thread size 5/16"-18 UNC and left-hand direction match the fastener or hole you are working with, as standard right-hand tools will not fit left-hand applications.
