Thread Forming Tap: 3/8-16 UNC, Plug, High Speed Steel, Bright Finish MPN:010387AS

This high-speed steel tap is designed to create threaded holes in various materials such as aluminum, brass, and soft steels with precision and ease. The size of 3/8-16 UNC makes it compatible with a wide range of applications, including automotive repairs, plumbing, or machining works. With its bright finish, users can expect the tap to perform well by reducing friction between the tap and workpiece, resulting in a burr-free threaded hole that won't strip out while tightening. Additionally, it eliminates the need for chasing and rethreading thanks to its ability to cut the threads as they are formed - saving time and reducing scrap. Whether you're working on one-time projects or high-volume production lines, this thread-forming tap delivers consistent performance that saves costs and time without compromising accuracy.
