Sutton Tools metric taps are premium threading tools widely used across Australian trades and workshop industries. They are classified into two main tiers based on their build material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) for industrial machine or heavy-duty manual use, and Carbon Alloy Steel for routine maintenance, automotive work, and general DIY applications.

M3 X 0.5 The Breakdown

  • M: Stands for Metric. This indicates the fastener uses the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) metric thread system.
  • 3: Represents 3 millimeters. This is the nominal major diameter, which is the outside measurement of the thread's ridges.
  • 0.5: Represents 0.5 millimeters. This is the thread pitch, which is the precise distance from the peak of one thread to the peak of the next
1. Taper Tap
  • Design: Features a long, gradual lead-in chamfer spanning 7 to 10 threads.
  • Purpose: It aligns the tool perfectly straight and starts cutting the thread with minimal effort.
  • Best For: Starting any manual threading project or threading completely through open holes. 
2. Intermediate / Second Tap
  • Design: Features a moderate lead-in chamfer spanning 3 to 5 threads.
  • Purpose: It deepens the initial grooves cut by the taper tap and drives the thread closer to the floor of a hole.
  • Best For: Deepening threads or acting as a single-pass starter tap in softer materials or open through-holes. 
3. Bottoming / Plug Tap
  • Design: Features a very short chamfer of only 1 to 2 threads, making it almost flat at the cutting tip.
  • Purpose: It cuts a full, usable thread all the way down to the absolute flat bottom of a blind hole.
  • Best For: Finishing blind holes where a bolt needs to screw in as deeply as possible.

Not playtime resistant
This toy is for less exuberant dogs. Mine destroyed it in less than 10 minutes.

Puppy loves her new octopus buddy!
We love this cute octopus plushy toy and our puppy does, too! They are so many great legs to chew and tug, and we love how big it is - 2x larger than our puppy. It’s holding up great to those sharp puppy teeth. 100% recommend.

Not durable
My dog loved it, but it lasted 2 days before he tore a hole in the eye and pulled fuzzy out. It’s not very durable for a big dog!
