Walter 6-40 UNF High-Performance Power Tap for Stainless Steel

Stop Hand Tapping and Start Drilling

For professional welders and fabricators, time is money, and manual hand tapping is one of the most time-consuming tasks in the shop. The Walter 6-40 UNF SST Power Tap allows you to ditch the tap wrench and utilize the power of your reversible portable drill to cut threads in seconds. This tool is built for the real-world demands of the job site, where speed cannot come at the expense of quality. If you frequently fabricate with stainless steel, you know how difficult it can be to tap threads without breaking the tool or galling the material. Walter's SST Power Tap is the solution, offering a rugged design that stands up to the toughest metals you encounter.

The secret to its performance lies in the Power Tip. Unlike standard hand taps that pull chips back up the flutes (often clogging and snapping the tap), this tool pushes chips forward, clearing the path for the cutting teeth. This makes it perfect for tapping through-holes in plates, tubing, and structural members. The SST surface treatment acts like a permanent lubricant shield, reducing heat and friction so you can tap hole after hole without the tool dulling prematurely. It is specifically optimized to handle the toughness of stainless steel, a material that eats lesser tools for lunch.

Designed with the user in mind, the shank features three flat sides that fit securely into your drill's chuck. This prevents the annoying and dangerous slipping that happens with round-shank bits when they bite into the metal. With the Walter 03A564, you get a secure grip, perfect alignment, and a clean 6-40 UNF thread in a fraction of the time. Upgrade your toolkit and streamline your workflow with a tap designed for modern fabrication.
