B-KIDS M16 HSSE TiN Hand Tap Set, 3-Piece, DIN 352, 6HX, for Stainless Steel

Precision-ground HSSE cobalt steel with TiN coating makes this M16 hand tap set a standout for threading stainless steel and other tough alloys. The 3-piece set includes taper, plug, and bottoming taps to DIN 352, each with a 6HX tolerance class for reliable, accurate threads.

Overview

Engineered for manual threading, this set tackles metric coarse M16 threads with a 2.0 mm pitch. The square shank ensures a secure grip in tap wrenches, while the 4-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation. The TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life, especially in abrasive materials.

What stands out

• HSSE cobalt steel withstands high temperatures and maintains hardness.
• TiN coating lowers friction, resists wear, and improves chip flow.
• 6HX tolerance class delivers consistent, gauge-accurate threads.
• Complete set: taper, plug, and bottoming taps for through or blind holes.
