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.

My Grandchildren LOVED this!
Format: Hardcover
I read this out loud to my two grandchildren ages 4 and 6 at bedtime. They're so excited to be reading a chapter book and they LOVED it! The book's quirky sense of humor is great and it was fun to hear the kids giggle. We loved how the sloth appears in each story. They couldn't wait for the next night to read. Mr Angleberger- please write more!!!

Got my 8 year old to read!
Format: Hardcover
My eight year old hated reading and refused to pick up any book, until this arrived in the mail. He as usual refused at first to read it but I made him read a couple of pages, which he did and put it down but the next day he asked to read it and read the entire book in 30 mins. He said he loved it and it was really funny. Already have the 2nd book on its way.

This book is adorable, fantastic
Format: Hardcover
This book is adorable, fantastic! I bought it for a 6 year old boy - he loved it - and his 10 year old brother loved it just as much. The three of us read it together and laughed out loud! It is written for a K - 1 - 2 grade level. Just wonderful! Kudos to the writer and illustrator!
We're really looking forward to book #2!
