A good rule of thumb to follow is the stronger the steel used in the construction of your tap and die set, the wider range of materials you will be able to work with. It is important to ensure that the tools you are using are up to the job in hand.

Use them for:
• Automotive applications and repair
• General maintenance workshops
• Minor fix ups
• Machinery repairs

The threading operation creates threads on the outside of a fastener, like a bolt, and it's done with a die tool. The tapping operation creates threads on the inside of the drilled hole, and it's done with a tapping tool.
