Cleveland C55132 Hand Tap
The Cleveland C55132 is a straight flute hand tap designed for creating internal UNC threads in a variety of materials. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to cut new threads or repair damaged ones in workshop or field settings.
Plug Style for Through Holes
This plug chamfer tap replaces worn or damaged taps of the same 1/2"-13 specification when thread quality declines. The jump is worth it when an existing tool no longer starts cleanly or produces threads that fail a 2B class of fit check.
Fits Standard Tap Wrenches
The tap features a 3.38 in overall length with a 1.66 in thread length and H3 thread limit for standard 2B fit. It requires a 27/64 in drill size for 75 percent thread engagement and works with conventional tap holders. The TiN coating on high speed steel reduces friction and extends tool life during hand threading operations.

Questions about this item
What drill size do I need for the 1/2"-13 threads on this tap?
Use a 27/64 in drill to produce the 75 percent thread depth required for this 1/2"-13 UNC tap.
How do I start the tap straight so the threads don't cross?
Apply steady axial pressure while turning the square drive clockwise; the plug chamfer on this 1.66 in thread length tap helps alignment, but a tapping guide prevents the most common error of tilting.
When should I replace this HSS TiN tap?
Replace it when the TiN coating wears through the high-speed steel flutes or when thread gauging shows the 2B class-of-fit limits are exceeded.
