Hand Tap Set FANAR M16 3 pcs (A1-230001-0160) — M16 threading taps, manual use

FANAR hand tap set for M16 threads, 3-piece kit designed for manual creation and repair of M16 internal threads in metal and compatible materials. The set includes three sequential taps that cover the standard cutting stages needed for accurate thread forming using a tap wrench or holder. Intended for workshop, maintenance and on-site tasks where power tapping is impractical, the set offers a compact, portable solution for producing reliable M16 threads by hand.

Advantages

The set contains three dedicated taps sized for progressive cutting, which helps achieve clean, correctly profiled M16 internal threads. Manual operation with a tap wrench reduces the risk of overheating and allows controlled chip evacuation compared with high-speed powered tapping. The tools are compact and easy to carry, making them suitable for field repairs and workshop use. Their design supports use in a variety of common materials, providing versatility for maintenance and assembly work.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M16 internal threads in metals and machinable materials
• Repairing damaged or worn M16 threads in maintenance and service tasks
• On-site threading where power tools cannot be used
• Workshop and hobby machining projects requiring manual tapping

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16
• Number of pieces: 3 (progressive tapping stages: typically taper, intermediate, bottom/plug)
• Intended use: manual tapping with tap wrench or holder
• Material compatibility: metal and other machinable substrates suitable for hand tapping
• Application: internal thread cutting and repair

How to use

Secure the workpiece and drill the correct pilot hole for M16 threading according to standard drilling charts. Select the first (taper) tap and mount it in a suitable tap wrench, apply cutting fluid if appropriate, and begin turning slowly to start the thread. Back off periodically to break and clear chips, then continue with the intermediate and final taps in sequence to reach the required thread depth and profile. Maintain steady, even pressure and correct alignment to avoid cross-threading; finish by cleaning chips and inspecting the thread for fit and form.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubricant for the workpiece material, ensure the pilot hole diameter matches M16 tapping standards, and replace taps that show wear or damage to preserve thread quality. For blind holes use the correct bottoming tap as the final stage; for through-holes a plug or intermediate tap may suffice. When working in confined or on-site environments, secure the workpiece and use controlled turns to minimize risk of tap breakage.
