Application

The 76-pc Master Ratcheting Tap and Die Set, No. 10079, from ARES Tool is for cutting and repairing external and internal threads.

Features and benefits

  • The 72-tooth reversible ratcheting T-handle wrench is designed to make turning threads smooth and requires less effort than hand turning.
  • The quick-release tap and die chucks allow for rapid switching between taps and dies, offering versatility for large thread work projects.
  • Includes both SAE and metric thread pitch gauges for easy thread identification.

Origin

We wanted to create a comprehensive tap and die set, including all of the popular metric and SAE thread sizes with all the features and benefits possible. The ratcheting t-handle alleviates a lot of the issues found in typical tap and die sets, making it easier to cut threads smoothly and more accurately.

Manufacturing/engineering specifications

Constructed of high-quality bearing steel with a titanium coating on each tap and die.
