Drillco 1"-8 HSS Taper Taps (20A164CT)
Drillco 20A164CT 1"-8 HSS Taper Taps provide reliable and efficient threading for a broad range of applications, particularly in low to medium strength materials. Part of the Straight Flute “Hand Taps” family, these taper taps are designed to start threads smoothly, reducing the risk of cross-threading and ensuring clean, accurate threads. Manufactured from general purpose high-speed steel (HSS), they feature a 118° conventional point that allows rapid penetration and consistent cutting performance. The black oxide surface treatment extends tool life by improving corrosion resistance, and the jobber length offers versatility for most threading needs. Proudly made in the USA, these taper taps are trusted tools for both production and hand tapping operations.
