• 1/4" internal hex for ratchet or angle driver
• External hex for open-end wrench
• for rethreading, repairing & cutting new threads
• delivered in a high-quality wooden case

1. Determine thread & choose the right tool:
   Check thread size and pitch (e.g., M8×1 or M8×0.75) and select the suitable HexTap (internal thread) or matching die nut (external thread). Ensure the tool and thread match exactly.
2. Prepare the work area:
   Remove dirt, rust, chips, or paint residues from the thread. For blind holes: keep the bore as free from chips as possible. A brief visual check helps assess if the thread is severely deformed.
3. Apply cutting oil:
   Apply cutting oil to the tool and thread (especially for steel). This reduces friction, improves surface quality, and protects the cutting edges.
4. Align correctly (important):
   Use the pilot tip to align the tool and keep it as perpendicular as possible to the workpiece surface. A clean, straight start helps avoid cross-threading.
5. Cut / rethread with even pressure:
   Turn evenly with a 1/4" ratchet or hex key. Work in a controlled manner – avoid tilting and do not force it. For external threads, guide the die nut with an open-end wrench on the external hex.
6. Special note for blind holes:
   Work in short stages and remove chips from the hole regularly. Avoid cutting to the bottom. If resistance increases significantly: reverse slightly, clean, re-oil, and continue carefully.
7. Finish & check fit:
   Unscrew the tool completely, clean the thread, and test with a suitable screw or nut. The thread should run smoothly without excessive resistance.

Can I use the set for hard-to-reach areas?
Yes. The 1/4" internal hex (e.g., for ratchet or angle driver) and the external hex (for open-end wrench) make the HexTap especially suitable for tight spaces.

Do I need special holders?
No. The system is designed for use with standard hand tools (ratchet, hex key, open-end wrench).

Which materials can I machine?
Ideal for easily machinable materials up to 900 N/mm², especially unalloyed and low-alloy steels.

Can I cut new threads or only rethread?
Both: The set is suitable for cutting new threads as well as cleaning, rethreading, and repairing damaged threads.

Is it suitable for blind holes?
Yes. Work in short stages, remove chips regularly, and proceed carefully if resistance increases.

Why should I use cutting oil?
Cutting oil reduces friction and heat, improves surface quality, and minimizes tool wear – especially when working with steel.

Can I reorder individual tools?
Yes, all HexTap S and HexTap DS threading tools are available separately.
