Hilka 45 Piece Tungsten Steel Tap & Die Set
Stripped threads, seized bolts, and sheared fasteners bring workshop productivity to a grinding halt. Built for engineers and mechanics who demand absolute precision, this comprehensive set tackles everything from chasing compromised internal threads to cutting clean new external profiles. Every component arrives secure inside a heavy-duty metal case, ready to restore structural integrity to your fastening projects with the backing of Elite Store.
Engineered Resilience Beats Soft Steel Competitors
Substandard threading tools bind, snap, or dull after a handful of uses, potentially ruining expensive workpieces. Hilka addresses this vulnerability by utilizing high-quality alloy steel that undergoes rigorous heat treatment and tempering. The result is a hardened edge that maintains sharpness over extended use. Tapered coarse and fine taps initiate cuts without biting off-center, while the split adjustable dies give you manual control over core diameters to guarantee a flawless, factory-spec fit.
Industrial Strength Capabilities
- Tempered Alloy Construction: Withstands high torque applications without fracturing or wearing smooth prematurely.
- Split Die Architecture: Allows micro-adjustments to the cutting diameter, ensuring tight tolerances on bespoke threading jobs.
- Dual Tap Wrenches: Maximizes leverage and feedback across two distinct sizing ranges, preventing accidental over-threading.

FAQs
Q: Can these tools cut threads into hardened stainless steel bolts?
A: This heat-treated alloy steel set is engineered for standard automotive grades, structural steels, and non-ferrous metals; using it on highly hardened stainless fasteners will accelerate tool wear.
Q: How do the split dies differ from solid fixed threading dies?
A: Split dies feature a small adjustment gap, letting you use the die stock screws to slightly expand or contract the cutting diameter for a tighter or looser thread fit.
Q: When will my workshop kit arrive after ordering?
A: Elite Store processes orders immediately to ensure prompt UK arrival via our trusted transit partners.
