03B564 - Walter 3/8-24 UNF SST Power Tap for Through Holes

Effortless Tapping for Professional Fabricators

Stop struggling with slow, labor-intensive hand tapping and upgrade your workflow with the Walter 3/8-24 UNF SST Power Tap. Built for the modern fabricator, this tool is designed to be used directly with your reversible portable drill, turning a tedious manual task into a fast, smooth operation. Whether you are repairing damaged threads in the field or fabricating new components in the shop, this power tap provides the durability and precision needed to get the job done right the first time.

Tapping tough materials like stainless steel can often lead to broken tools and ruined workpieces. Walter has addressed this with their exclusive SST surface treatment, which acts as a permanent lubricant to help the tap glide through metal with less resistance. This not only extends the life of the tap but also produces cleaner, more precise threads. The innovative "Power Tip" design pushes metal chips out ahead of the tap, keeping the flutes clear and preventing the binding that often causes snaps. This makes it the perfect choice for tapping through-holes in plates, tubing, and structural members.

One of the biggest challenges with using taps in drill chucks is slippage. The Walter SST Power Tap solves this with a shank that features three flat sides, ensuring a rock-solid grip in your drill's chuck. You can apply the necessary torque without the tool spinning inside the jaws. Additionally, the self-aligning feature helps you start the hole straight, reducing the risk of cross-threading. From aluminum to heavy-gauge steel, this tap is the reliable solution for welders and mechanics who demand speed without sacrificing quality.
