• +0.015 tolerance ensures tight, dependable thread engagement suitable for critical fits.
• Durable construction built to withstand repeated use in demanding environments, maintaining accuracy over time.
• Metric thread specifically suitable for M16x2 applications, a common size in automotive, industrial, and fabrication work.

This hand tap is ideal for machinists, hobbyists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who value dependable thread integrity in brackets, housings, sleeves, and other metal components. Use it to repair damaged threads or to create new, precise internal threads that your fasteners can trust day after day.

How to use: prepare the hole with an appropriately sized pilot for M16x2 threads, apply a light machining oil to reduce friction, and insert the Wiseman hand tap into a tap wrench. Turn with steady, even pressure to cut the thread, occasionally backing off to clear chips. Check the fit with the mating bolt and repeat as needed until the full thread length is clean and consistent.
