Machine Tap Form B HexDrive + Spibo M 3–12 + Truck in 111 Years Luxury Box

• Through Holes: The Form B spiral point ensures chips are evacuated forward (downward) through the hole—perfect for through-threading.
• Quick-Change Efficiency: The HexDrive (Bit) shank is designed for seamless use in cordless drills, hand holders, and quick-release systems.
• High-Performance Materials: Thanks to the HSS-E cobalt-alloyed steel, you can reliably work with alloyed steels, structural steels, and non-ferrous metals up to 900 N/mm².
• Professional Maintenance: An essential kit for technicians and mechanics who need a fast, precise solution for metric threads on the go.

Note: When using a cordless drill, ensure the tool is perfectly aligned and use sufficient cutting oil to maximize the service life of your HSS-E taps.

• HexDrive Advantage: No more slipping in the drill chuck. The standardized 1/4" hex shank ensures maximum torque transmission and rapid tool changes.
• HSS-E Industrial Grade: The addition of cobalt makes these taps significantly more heat-resistant and durable than standard HSS tools.
• Perfectly Matched Set: Every tap comes with its corresponding HSS-G pilot drill, eliminating the need to search for the correct hole size.
• Exclusive Collector's Edition: The luxury gift box and the included Dakar Truck model make this set a perfect gift or a representative highlight for your shop.

• Form B is specifically designed for through holes; it is not suitable for blind holes (where chips must be pulled upward).
• HSS-E tools require a stable guide when used with power tools to prevent chipping of the high-performance cutting edges.

1. Drilling: Choose the matching HSS-G twist drill from the set and drill the pilot hole (e.g., 5.0 mm for M6).
2. Preparation: Insert the corresponding HexDrive machine tap directly into your bit holder or cordless drill chuck.
3. Lubrication: Apply cutting oil or tapping paste to reduce friction and heat, ensuring a clean thread profile.
4. Tapping: Align the tool perfectly square to the workpiece and cut the through-thread in one continuous motion.
5. Cleaning: Clear the chips from the tool and verify the fit of the new thread with a bolt or gauge.
6. Storage: Clean the components and return them to the luxury box to protect the precision cutting edges from damage.

What is the benefit of the HexDrive (Bit-Shank) for tapping?
HexDrive allows you to use the taps directly in cordless drills and bit holders. It prevents the tool from slipping in the chuck and drastically speeds up the transition between drilling and tapping.

Why should I choose HSS-E instead of standard HSS?
HSS-E is alloyed with Cobalt, making it much more heat-resistant. This is a crucial advantage when working with harder materials or when performing repetitive tasks where heat buildup would dull standard HSS tools.

Can I use this set for blind holes?
No, this set features Form B taps. These are designed to push chips forward through the hole. For blind holes, you would need taps with a right-hand spiral (Form C/RSP) to pull the chips out of the hole.

Does the HexDrive fit into any standard cordless drill?
Yes, the 1/4" hexagon shank is standardized and fits into all common bit holders and drill chucks.
