Overview
Sized for M8 x 1 threads, this uxcell tap uses a straight flute design and comes paired with a 7.0mm reference size. It shows a 4.4 star average from 187 reviews.
The M8 x 1 designation refers to an 8mm thread with a 1mm pitch, a fine thread size common in machine work, and the straight flute design is the simplest tap style for through holes in softer materials. The listed 7.0mm likely refers to the recommended tap drill size matched to this thread. Item weight is listed at 0.01 ounces, negligible for a small hand tool like this.
- Thread size: M8 x 1
- Straight flute design
- 7.0mm reference size included
- Item weight: 0.01 ounces
Who it's for
Useful for anyone cutting M8 x 1 fine threads by hand, such as repairing stripped threads or tapping new holes in metal or plastic. Not a fit if your project calls for the more common M8 x 1.25 coarse thread.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Matched to M8 x 1 fine pitch threads
- Includes a 7.0mm reference drill size
- Rated 4.4 stars from 187 reviews
- Straight flute design clears chips less well in blind holes
- Fine M8 x 1 pitch is less common than M8 x 1.25
Performance notes
Straight flute taps clear chips less efficiently than spiral point designs, so they work best in through holes and softer materials where chips can fall clear rather than pack into blind holes.
