GEARWRENCH 114 Pc. Ratcheting Tap and Die Set for Mechanics

The comprehensive set of SAE Standard and Metric GEARWRENCH taps and dies offers a perfect solution for master mechanics and machine shops that cater to a diverse array of threading requirements. This extensive collection includes 48 taps and 48 dies, providing the necessary sizes to meet any task. Designed with innovative features, these tools integrate advanced GEARWRENCH technology, such as the unique 5-degree ratcheting head on our T handles and the patented Twist Lock guide system, which firmly secures any extension or cutting tool to the handle, ensuring straight threads with every cut.

The 114-piece GearWrench Tap and Die set, specifically model 82812, excels in tight and confined spaces. The innovative Twist Lock Guide System minimizes the backwalk of the die guide while centrally aligning the dies for precise thread cutting. With a ratcheting T wrench offering a 5-degree arc, it also features a reversible lever that enables effortless transitions between forward and reverse motions, eliminating the need for hand-over-hand turning.

Included in the set are various components such as the large ratcheting T wrench (model 82800), a large locking tap adapter (model 82801), and a large hex die adapter (model 82802). Additionally, users will find a medium ratcheting T wrench (model 3881), a medium tap adapter (model 3883), a small tap adapter (model 3882), and a medium die adapter (model 3884). The set also contains male and female extension adapters (models 82803 and 82804, respectively), a sliding T for adapters, a 4mm hex key, five screw extractors, and both metric and SAE thread gauges, along with the collection of 48 taps and dies.

Since its inception, GearWrench has been a leader in tool innovation, developing groundbreaking products such as pass-through ratchets, sockets, screw/nut drivers, pliers, and specialty tools. Regardless of the industry, GearWrench offers tools suited to various demands, ranging from precise instruments to robust, nearly indestructible options. All GearWrench hand tools come with a lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship.

This 114-piece set of large ratcheting tap and die tools encompasses a variety of components: it includes two ratcheting T handles, tap adapters in small, medium, and large sizes, die adapters in two sizes, extension adapters, and a sliding T for easy use with adapters. It also provides a 4mm hex key, five screw extractors, and both SAE and metric thread gauges. The taps and dies themselves are made from high-quality carbon tool steel, ensuring durability and longevity.

To facilitate safe and organized storage, the set is packaged in a blow-molded case that features tilted tap holders for easy access. The ratcheting T handles allow for effective die handling with a 5° swing arc and come equipped with a reversing lever designed to eliminate hand-over-hand turning. The Twist Lock guide system is engineered to reduce the “walk back” of the die guide, ensuring continuous precise handling while cutting threads.

Finally, the drive extension adapters provide enhanced access in confined areas, working seamlessly with the 3/8-inch drive extensions, making this set an indispensable tool for any master mechanic or machine shop looking to handle a variety of threading needs efficiently.
