VÖLKEL Adjustable Tap Wrench Steel Version No. 0 (M1-M8)

The Adjustable Tap Wrench No. 0 from VÖLKEL in a robust steel version is the ideal tool for precise manual thread cutting of internal threads. This tap wrench complies with the DIN 1814 standard and is specifically designed for taps with square shanks ranging from 2.0 to 5.0 mm (suitable for tap sizes from M1 to M8). The precise clamping and the adjustable handle ensure optimal force transmission and exact guidance of the tap, which is crucial, especially for delicate threads. An indispensable aid in any workshop and assembly environment.

Application and Advantages

  • For manual production or recutting of internal threads using taps.
  • Suitable for taps with a square shank of 2.0 - 5.0 mm.
  • The adjustable jaw guarantees secure and centered clamping of the tap – for clean cutting results.
  • The steel version provides high stability and longevity for professional use and higher torque applications.

Components and Function

An adjustable tap wrench according to DIN 1814 consists of:

  1. Body: The solid base housing made of steel.
  2. Fixed Jaw: A stationary clamping surface for the tap.
  3. Adjustable Jaw: A movable clamping surface adjusted by turning the handle to fit the tap.
  4. Handles: The long handles provide the necessary leverage and can typically be disassembled on one side for use in confined spaces.

Clamping is achieved by turning the handle, which presses the adjustable jaw firmly against the tap's square shank, ensuring secure, play-free retention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which tap sizes does this Tap Wrench No. 0 accommodate?

A1: The wrench accommodates taps with a square shank between 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm. This typically covers common metric taps from M1 to M8, but you should always check the specific square dimension of your tap.

Q2: What is the benefit of the steel version over a die-cast version?

A2: The steel version offers significantly higher strength and breaking load than die-cast variants. This is particularly important for higher torque applications, such as when cutting larger threads or working with tough materials.

Q3: Can I use this wrench for non-metric threads (e.g., UNC/UNF)?

A3: Yes, the wrench accepts any tap whose square shank fits within the clamping range (2.0 to 5.0 mm), regardless of the thread standard (metric, UNC, Whitworth, etc.).

Q4: What does the DIN 1814 standard mean?

A4: DIN 1814 is the German industrial standard for adjustable tap wrenches. It defines the dimensions and technical requirements, ensuring that the wrench size (like No. 0) correctly matches the square shanks of corresponding taps.

Q5: How do I maintain my tap wrench?

A5: After each use, clean the wrench thoroughly of chips and cutting oil. Store it dry to prevent corrosion. The adjusting screw and movable parts should be oiled occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
