Value Collection CCT1564 Tap Die Set 22pc Unc Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CCT1564 is a 22-piece tap and die set covering thread sizes from 1/4-20 through 1/2-20 in both UNC and UNF standards. Taps and dies are manufactured from carbon steel, offering reliable hardness for cutting threads in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The set includes round adjustable dies with a 1-inch outside diameter, a die stock handle, and a straight-handle tap wrench. This type of set is used by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who need to cut, restore, or chase threads in the field or shop.

This set is suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications where standard fractional inch threads are encountered. Typical uses include restoring damaged threads on bolts, pipe fittings, and hardware, or cutting new threads in drilled holes. The adjustable dies allow minor diameter tuning for fit and tolerance control. The metal case keeps all 22 pieces organized and protected during transport and storage.

Installation Notes

A licensed or trained tradesperson should follow standard tapping and threading procedures, including proper cutting fluid application to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Always secure the workpiece before tapping or threading. When using adjustable dies, make a test pass and check thread fit before cutting to final depth. Inspect taps for wear or breakage before each use, as a broken tap in a blind hole can be difficult to remove.
