Taps and dies are machined from carbon steel with a bright finish for corrosion resistance during storage and use. The hex-profile dies measure 1 inch across the flats and are non-adjustable, providing consistent thread geometry on each pass. The set includes an offset adjustable tap wrench and a plain die stock, giving technicians the hand tools needed to cut or chase both internal and external threads without sourcing additional accessories. Plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and electricians use sets like this for field repairs, rethreading damaged fasteners, and fabricating threaded connections on conduit, fittings, and mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance work where standard UNC inch-series threads are the norm. Covered thread sizes include 1\/4-20, 5\/16-18, 3\/8-16, 7\/16-14, and 1\/2-13, which represent the most common fastener sizes encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical trades. The compact plastic case keeps components organized and protects cutting edges between jobs, making it practical for a service van or shop toolbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovers five UNC thread sizes: 1\/4-20, 5\/16-18, 3\/8-16, 7\/16-14, and 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction on all taps and dies for durability in hand-threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish on taps reduces friction and aids visual inspection for wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch hex die profile fits standard plain die stocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes offset adjustable tap wrench and plain die stock — no additional wrenches required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded plastic case organizes all 12 pieces and protects cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting and chasing standard UNC inch-series threads; compatible with any application requiring 1\/4-20 through 1\/2-13 fastener thread profiles in steel, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread cutting with taps and dies is typically performed by licensed tradespeople or experienced technicians familiar with hand-threading procedures. Use appropriate cutting oil to extend tool life and produce clean threads; dry threading will accelerate wear on carbon steel cutting edges. Back off the tap or die periodically to break chips and prevent binding, especially in deeper holes. Inspect threads with a go\/no-go gauge where code-required or safety-critical fastener joints are involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tap Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Tap Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Die Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Die Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie Thread Sizes Included\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20, 5\/16-18, 3\/8-16, 7\/16-14, 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie Hex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Die\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Offset Adjustable Tap Wrench, Plain Die Stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IRWIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24612\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539007013170,"sku":"24612","price":107.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/11c1d221323363e9301c2ce168e38bbf.jpg?v=1785832613","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-24612-tap-die-set-unc-1-4-20-to-1-2-13-12-pc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
