Hand Tap Set FANAR M5, 2 pieces (A1-220001-0110)

FANAR hand tap set for M5 threads contains two precision taps designed to cut or repair internal metric M5 threads. The set is intended for manual use in metalworking, maintenance and repair tasks where controlled, accurate threading is required. Its compact, two-piece configuration offers basic coverage for creating new threads or restoring damaged ones in a range of workshop and on-site situations.

Advantages

The set provides two taps matched for M5 thread dimensions, allowing both initial cutting and follow-up passes to achieve correct thread form. Made for manual operation, the taps enable controlled chip evacuation and reduced risk of overcutting compared with power tools. The compact size and minimal kit composition make the set easy to store and transport, suitable for mobile repair work or small toolkits.

Suitable for

• Cutting new internal M5 metric threads in metal components
• Repairing or restoring damaged M5 threads on machinery or assemblies
• Manual threading tasks during maintenance and field service
• Use in workshops, garages, and portable tool kits

Key specifications

• Thread size: M5 (metric)
• Number of pieces: 2 taps
• Intended use: manual hand tapping for internal threads
• Material: hardened tool steel suitable for metalworking (manufacturer standard)
• Finish: industrial protective surface treatment

How to use

Select the appropriate tap and secure the workpiece with adequate clamping to prevent movement. Align the tap square to the hole and apply steady, even pressure while turning the tap wrench clockwise to cut the thread; reverse the tap periodically to break and clear chips. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tool life. Complete threading with the second tap if the set includes progressive sizes for roughing and finishing, then clean the threaded hole and inspect the thread for correct fit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a properly sized pilot hole for M5 threads and use appropriate cutting lubricant. Avoid excessive side loads and back out the tap regularly to clear chips. Store the taps dry and protected to prevent corrosion and check tools for wear before use to ensure accurate thread formation.
