- Two tap wrenches plus a die handle give secure grip
- Screw remover and pitch gauge simplify identification and extraction
- Heavy-duty heat-treated steel with rust-resistant finish ensures durability
SAE Thread Repair Kit
This 40-piece SAE tap and die set provides 17 taps and 17 hex dies covering common inch threads from 4-40 up to 1/2-13 plus an 1/8-27 NPT pipe size. It includes an adjustable tap wrench, a T-handle tap wrench, a die handle, a screw remover and a pitch gauge, all stored in a compact plastic case with a clear top. The tools are heat-treated for durability and feature precision-ground surfaces that help remove chips cleanly.
DIY Mechanics and Light Maintenance
The kit suits DIY mechanics, hobbyists and maintenance staff who need to cut new threads or repair damaged ones in steel, aluminium or plastic using SAE sizes. It is not intended for high-volume production shops that require larger diameters, metric threads or specialised pipe sizes beyond the included NPT option. Buyers who need metric coverage or sizes above 1/2 inch should look at a different set.
17 SAE Tap and Die Pairs
The deciding specification is the inclusion of 17 specific SAE tap-and-die pairs ranging from 4-40 through 1/2-13 and 1/8-27 NPT, which determines whether the set matches the thread sizes required for the job.

Questions about this item
How do I start threads with the 17 taps without cross-threading?
Select the correct SAE size from the 4-40 to 1/2-13 range, secure the workpiece, apply cutting oil, and turn the tap wrench slowly while keeping the tap perpendicular to the hole.
When will the 17 hex dies and two tap wrenches need replacement?
Replace dies when threads become rough or oversized; wrenches last indefinitely unless jaws strip or handles crack from overtightening.
What limits continuous threading with the heat-treated carbon steel taps?
Heat buildup dulls cutting edges first; pause frequently, use ample lubricant, and clear chips with the polished flutes to maintain precision.
