QWORK 1/2 - 14 NPT Pipe Tap, Carbon Steel, for Clean and Re-thread Damaged or Jam Pipe Threads

First, used wire brush to remove soft/loose material. Then, used butt tap to clean and dress threads on natural gasline tee before installing new quick connect for portable generator. Yellow gas pipe tape used in new assembly with no leaks after initial install. All work done with permits and inspection.

To thread inside a stainless reducer pipe.

I used the tap to freshen threads in my aluminum intake. A heater hose fitting I bought messed the threads up. Shipping was fast and the tap worked fine.

I was pleasantly surprised with this tap! I needed to tap one large hole in a piece of 1/4 thick stainless steel for a custom car part I am building. I knew the steel was hard but ordered a cheap tap, because I only needed it for one hole. I couldnt believe how easy is was to cut the stainless steel. I clamped the part in a vice, and used plenty of lubricant (WD-40). I took my time working the tap back and forth, not trying to tap it in one pass. The tap is still very sharp and looks brand new still.

I was very satisfied and would do it again!

This product arrived very quickly and was well packaged. I used it for tapping holes in schedule 40 PVC and 1/4in clear acrylic sheet and it worked perfectly.

Had a few fittings where the threads needed cleaned up and this did the job perfectly.

Worked perfectly except that square end is larger than you might imagine. I had to use a socket to drive it into the pipe fitting.

Arrived on time worked well

Does what it supposed to do.
