The DIN 352 HSS-M2 Hand Tap Set is a cornerstone for professional manual threading, specifically engineered for industrial maintenance, large-scale fabrication, and precision engineering. This professional 3-piece kit includes the Taper (No.1), Plug (No.2), and Bottoming (No.3) taps, allowing for a gradual thread-forming process that ensures maximum accuracy while minimizing torque load and tool breakage.
Manufactured from authentic M2 High-Speed Steel (AISI M2) and processed through Precision Full-Grinding, these taps deliver exceptional thread concentricity and a superior surface finish. Since 1997, our factory has balanced high hardness (HRC 63-65) with industrial toughness, making this set the most reliable choice for bulk importers and MRO wholesalers worldwide.

Q: Why is HSS-M2 better for large sizes (M24-M42)?
A: Large threads generate immense friction and heat. M2's high Tungsten and Molybdenum content (Red Hardness) ensures the cutting edges maintain their integrity under extreme pressure, providing 3x the tool life of carbon steel.
Q: Why use the 3-piece sequence instead of a single-pass tap?
A: Manual operation lacks the rigid guidance of a machine. Using No.1 (Taper) to start ensures the tap stays vertical, while No.2 and No.3 complete the thread profile. This drastically reduces the torque needed, preventing tap breakage in expensive workpieces.
Q: Do you support customized markings for distributors?
A: Yes. Since 1997, we have provided full OEM services. We can laser mark your brand name and specific SKU codes directly onto the tool shanks.
Q: What is the quality control for wholesale batches?
A: We implement 100% thread concentricity verification and 6H Go/No-Go gauge testing. A Material Test Report (MTR) verifying the HSS-M2 composition is provided for every shipment.
