M8 x 1.0 Metric Threading Tap with Squared Tang

Brief Overview

This is a hand-operated metric threading tap designed for creating M8 x 1.0 internal threads in metal. The tap features a chamfered entry point for smooth thread starting, multiple cutting flutes for efficient chip removal, and a squared tang for secure wrench engagement. It's an essential tool for any shop performing thread cutting, repair, or precision assembly work. For comprehensive thread restoration capability, consider pairing this with a metric helicoil insert system or expanding your metric tap range with the M10 x 1.0 threading tap.

Reseller Guidance

This tap is a consumable-adjacent tool—it will eventually dull, but represents a cost-effective per-use solution for shops. Position it as a standalone item or bundle with a tap wrench for immediate usability. The metric M8 x 1.0 specification is non-negotiable; ensure your customers know the exact pitch before purchase to avoid thread mismatch issues.
