Drillco 3/4-16 HSS Left Hand Plug Tap (23A148FP)
Drillco 23A148FP 3/4-16 HSS Left Hand Plug Tap is designed for creating precise counterclockwise (left-hand) threads with a plug chamfer that balances ease of thread starting and thread quality. Ideal for applications where right-hand threads risk loosening due to reverse torque or vibration, this tap offers versatility in threading deeper than taper taps but with less thread engagement than bottoming taps. Manufactured from premium-grade high-speed steel (HSS) and finished with a durable black oxide coating, it provides excellent wear resistance and long tool life for both manual and machine tapping.
