1. Key Features The GearWrench 82817 set includes ergonomic ratcheting T-handles designed with a 5° swing arc and a 72-tooth fine ratchet mechanism. This design facilitates the use of both taps and hex dies. A flush-mounted reversing lever allows for changes in direction without the need to remove the wrench from the workpiece. Taper taps are provided for the creation of new threads or the repair of existing ones. Plug taps are included for generating through holes, shallow holes, and for use on soft metals. Hex dies are incorporated for cleaning up slightly damaged threads, chasing existing threads, and restoring worn threads. The set features a sliding T-bar that converts tap and hex die adapters. All components are housed in an injection mold carrying case for organized storage and portability.

2. Applications This tap and die set is suitable for creating new threads, repairing damaged threads, and cleaning up existing threads. Specific applications include generating through holes and shallow holes, as well as working with soft metal materials. The hex dies are specifically designed for thread restoration and chasing applications.

3. Benefits The ergonomic ratcheting T-handles and 72-tooth mechanism contribute to smoother and more efficient threading operations, which can reduce user fatigue during prolonged use. The flush-mounted reversing lever enhances operational efficiency by allowing quick direction changes without interruption. The inclusion of taper, plug, and hex dies provides versatility for a range of threading tasks, from initial thread cutting to repair and restoration.
