TAP PLG 12MM-1.5MM - Hanson

The Hanson 1743ZR Plug Tap is engineered for professional technicians and mechanics requiring precise metric threading in automotive and industrial applications. This M12 x 1.5mm tap is an essential tool for creating new threads or meticulously cleaning existing ones in a variety of materials. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance and longevity in demanding workshop environments.

Key Features

• Precision Metric Threading: Designed to cut accurate M12 x 1.5mm metric threads, ensuring compatibility with standard metric fasteners.
• High Carbon Steel Construction: Manufactured from high carbon steel (HCS) for enhanced durability, wear resistance, and extended tool life under professional use.
• Plug Tap Design: Features 3-5 chamfered threads, allowing for versatile use in starting new holes, continuing threads after a taper tap, and cleaning existing threads with ease.
• Efficient Chip Removal: Straight flutes are designed to facilitate effective chip evacuation, promoting smoother cutting action and preventing clogging.
• Professional-Grade Thread Quality: Produces Class 2B threads, suitable for general-purpose threading applications where a balance of fit and tolerance is required.

Applications

This Hanson plug tap is indispensable for a wide range of tasks encountered by professional technicians. It is ideally suited for auto repair, including engine work, chassis maintenance, and various vehicle component re-threading needs. Beyond automotive, the 1743ZR is effective in general machinery maintenance, industrial equipment repair, and fabrication where metric threads are specified. It can be used to create new threads in materials such as steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics, and is particularly useful for cleaning out or re-tapping damaged or corroded existing threads. Its design allows for effective use in both through holes and blind holes, provided there is sufficient depth to accommodate the tap's chamfer.
