12AB3 Alpine Tap TiN coated

$16.99

Product Description

Standard Alpine Tap for use with metal top sheet skis. When mounting a ski with a metal top sheet it is also a good idea to tap the hole afterwards.  This will help prevent the dreaded "VOLCANOING" and allow the screw to thread past the metal top sheet easier and not ruin the threads.

This tap is TiN coated. Titanium Nitride is a gold colored coating that increases the Rockwell hardness from Rockwell 62 to Rockwell 82, it also increases the lubricity by 35%. The bottom line is that the life and sharpness of the tool is easily doubled.

    Nothing really to elaborate, it's a simple quality tool that does the job on skis w/a metal sheet.

    If you need to tap for binding screws you can't go wrong with the 12AB3 from BF/SVST. The right tap at the right price.

    It's a tap, so there's not a whole lot you can say about it. It's clearly well-made. The screws went into my Head Monsters like butter, with zero apparent volcanoing. Solid product.
