Irwin Tools 8339 10mm x 1.25 Metric Tap

It was a lifesaver when I discovered this tap. For my Honda CRV, I invested in a trailer hitch. When I first started the installation, I noticed that the threaded mounting holes in my CRV were rusted and unusable. At home, I have a cheapo tap set that won't turn in the rusted holes. I assumed they'd rusted to the point of being unsalvageable. I ordered this tap in the hopes that it would work where the cheap tap had failed, and it did, allowing me to clean out and use four previously unusable holes in the CRV chassis, saving me from a helicoil headache. The point is that investing in high-quality tools pays off. This is an excellent tool.

It did a great job mounting a tow hitch the one and only time I needed it. Rust and debris from New England filled the holes. What a pain it was to turn this bit by hand for an hour in order to clear four holes. However, it performed admirably and appears to be brand new.

I'd never done anything with a tap before. This was purchased in order to "chase" a cross-country flight. It was simple to install a threaded bolt hole in a motorcycle frame because it was threaded. I could tell the difference between clean and fouled thread, but getting through the rough patches didn't take much effort. The new bolt went in smoothly and securely after this tap gave it a thorough chase.

a 2013 Honda CR-V's weld nuts are being threaded V for a Curt trailer hitch installation. This is precisely what I needed to hear again. My 2013 Honda CR-V has four weld nuts that need to be threaded. V, so that I can hook up my Curt 13119 Class 3 Trailer Hitch. I'd never used a tap or a tap wrench before, but the procedure was simple and the tap felt very solid. I was able to re-enter my information. Without a hitch, thread the four weld nuts.

I only used it to chase threads, so I'm not sure how good it is at cutting new ones, but Irwin is a reputable brand, and I've seen some bad taps where the threads are as bad as the thing you're trying to clean; this one appears to be in good shape.

I purchased some motorcycle clutch and brake controls with an untapped mirror hole. That was not mentioned in the descriptions. I suppose you'll have to look for mirrors that are designed to be bolted through. Well, that took care of it in a jiffy. I didn't exactly push the controls to their limits because they were aluminum, but I would consider this a mid-grade tap. I recommend watching some how-to videos if you've never used a tap before. Because I didn't break the chip when I was in technical school for machining, I busted a good quality 3/4" aluminum tap. "I've been doing this all day on various grades of steel, so I'll just cram this right through this aluminum!" I reasoned. "Then I figure out how to dig out my first tap," says the narrator. There's only a minor trick to it, but it's simple to figure out.

Tape that is well-made I used it to track down bunged-up people. with some 3-inch threads on a driver's seat carriage 1 lubricant oil It worked flawlessly and was simple to extract (both directions were taken slowly). In addition, I purchased the Hanson 12002 T-shirt. tap wrench with a handle The wrench will fit this tap, but it will fill the wrench chuck to capacity. There are no issues.

I bought this in case my 10mm bolt holes rusted over time, but it turned out that I could clean them with lubricant and a stiff cylinder brush. Even so, I'm glad I have it in case I need to redo any 10mm threads.
