Aceteel M18 X 1.0 Left Hand Metric Tap And Die Set – HSS Tap & Alloy Steel Die, For Thread Repair & Cutting In Steel, Cast Iron, Brass, Aluminum

About This Product

Ever stripped a thread on a left-hand bolt and couldn't find a tap or die to fix it?
Annoyin', right?
This Aceteel M18 x 1.
0 left-hand set is exactly what you need.
It's a full metric tap and die combo – tap is made from high-speed steel (HSS), die is from alloy tool steel, so both are tough and hold an edge.
The tap has straight flutes, which works great for through holes and shallow blind holes – just don't use it for deep blind holes, okay?

The tap is about 3.

82 inches long with a 0.
87-inch thread head, square drive is 11.
2mm, shank diameter's 14mm.
The die's outer diameter is 1.
77 inches (45mm) and it's 0.
55 inch thick (14mm).

Both are made for M18 x 1mm pitch left-hand threads.

You can use 'em on most metals – general steel, harder steels, stainless, cast iron, brass, aluminum, copper – just adjust your speed based on hardness.

Rule of thumb: harder material = slower speed.

Always use cutting fluid or coolant when you're workin' – keeps things cool and extends tool life.

If it gets tough to turn, stop and clear chips.

And after you're done, wipe 'em down with anti-rust oil so they stay sharp for next time.

One tap and one die per pack – perfect for maintenance or repair jobs where standard right-hand won't cut it.
