What are taps and dies used for?

Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools. A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (e.g. a nut). A die is used to cut or form the male portion of the mating pair (e.g. a bolt).

How do I determine the correct tap and die for the task at hand?

• Look at the threaded fastener you are repairing
• Count how many threads there are per inch
• Find out if your thread is National Fine or National Coarse
• Compare the numbers and thread type you just gathered to the numbers written on the taps and dies
