Tough Carbon Steel for Manual Applications

Hi-carbon steel is known for its toughness and resistance to chipping, making it especially suitable for low-speed, hand tapping applications. These taps offer excellent tactile feedback when used with tap wrenches, allowing precise control and reducing the risk of cross-threading or breakage. They are ideal for chasing damaged threads, restoring fastener holes, and performing on-site repairs where power tools may not be practical.
