Self-Aligning Taps and Dies Revolutionize Threading Tools

IRWIN HANSON’s Performance Threading System is a revolutionary, simple-to-use system of self-aligning taps and dies, drive tools, and adjustable tap sockets. The user places the tap in the hole and it aligns itself perfectly each time. Every tap features IRWIN’s patented Chip Breaking Technology (CBT), ensuring improved durability, and cleaner cuts when threading.

The new self-aligning dies plus an alignment plate on the self-aligning dies takes all guesswork out of threading a rod/stud. Just place the die on the stud, and it aligns itself, resulting in better quality threads, faster.

To thread with taps and dies, drive tools are needed. IRWIN Performance Threading System Drive Tools include a die stock and two adjustable tap sockets—no need for set-screws, mini screwdrivers, or multiple steps. The user drops the die onto the die stock, twists the patented Die Lock Ring, and starts threading.

When working in a tight/hard-to-reach spot, the Performance Threading System Adjustable Tap Socket comes in handy. It fits any 3/8” socket wrench or socket extension, and has a versatile base that works with the die stock or the included t-handle.
