Built for Real Farm Work
This tap handles the threading work you’ll run into on hydraulic fittings, brackets, sheet metal repairs, and countless other spots where fine threads are needed. The 5/16-24 NF thread is common on smaller hydraulic connections, electrical components, and light-duty mounting hardware across most tractor brands.
Made to Last
Quality taps don’t come cheap, but they save you money in the long run. This one’s built from proper tool steel and heat treated to maintain sharp cutting edges even when working with tough materials. It’ll cut clean threads in steel, aluminum, and cast iron without chattering or binding.
Good to Know
Use cutting fluid or even WD-40 when tapping to get cleaner threads and extend tap life. Back the tap out every few turns to break chips and clear the flutes. If you’re tapping a blind hole, go slow and back out frequently to avoid breaking the tap off in the hole.
