Klein Tools 625-32 Triple Tap Tool 8-32 10-32

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 625-32 is a triple-tap hand tool designed to create or clean threaded holes in electrical enclosures, panels, and sheet metal. It combines three tapping functions in a single body, allowing electricians and panel installers to tap 8-32 and 10-32 threads without switching between separate tools. The compact form factor and lightweight construction at 0.26 pounds make it practical for tight cabinet interiors and field work where full-size tap handles are impractical. It is installed by hand and requires no power equipment.

This tool is used primarily in electrical trade applications where mounting screws must thread into thin-gauge steel or aluminum enclosures. Typical scenarios include tapping knockouts, mounting holes, and accessory attachment points inside load centers, junction boxes, and industrial panels. The 8-32 and 10-32 thread sizes cover the most common machine screw standards found in electrical distribution and control enclosures. Electricians, low-voltage installers, and panel fabricators are the primary users.

Key Features

• Triple-tap design handles multiple thread sizes in one tool
• Cuts and cleans 8-32 and 10-32 threaded holes
• Lightweight at 0.26 pounds for easy one-handed use
• Compact body suited for work inside enclosures and panels
• No power tools required — operated by hand

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tapping tool for use with 8-32 and 10-32 machine screw thread standards commonly found in electrical enclosures and sheet metal panels.

Installation Notes

De-energize all equipment before working inside electrical enclosures, per NEC requirements. Align the tap squarely with the pilot hole before applying rotational pressure to avoid cross-threading or tool breakage. Use a thread-cutting lubricant on harder metals to extend tool life. This tool is intended for use by qualified electricians familiar with standard tapping procedures.
