Apex 82812 Ratcheting Tap and Die Set 21.5 in Oal

Product Description

The APEX 82812 is a ratcheting tap and die handle system designed for professional mechanics and machine shop use. The set features a 5-degree ratcheting arc with a reversible lever, eliminating hand-over-hand turning and speeding up threading work in tight spaces. A Twist Lock guide system reduces back walk of die guide extension adapters, and the die adapter accepts both round and hex shaped dies. The complete set ships in a blow molded case for organized, protected storage. At 18.25 pounds, this is a full-featured system built for daily trade use.

This tap and die set covers a wide range of thread sizes, including 4-40 through 3/4 inch in SAE and 3 mm through 18 mm in metric, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical applications. The Twist Lock guide system and extendable adapter design give technicians access in confined areas where standard tap and die handles cannot reach. Adapters can be combined with any 3/8 inch drive extension to increase reach as needed. Tap holders tilt down for easy access and keep taps secure and organized within the case.
