The VÖLKEL Hand Tap Finisher DIN 352 in size M 6 x 1.0 is a universal tool for cutting and repairing metric threads with precision. Made of ground high-speed steel (HSS-G), this tap ensures high accuracy, clean cutting edges, and long tool life. A key advantage: M 6 x 1.0 is a standard size for many grease nipple threads (also known as Zerk fittings), widely used in vehicles, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment. This makes the tap the perfect choice not only for general thread cutting but also for maintaining and repairing grease nipple mounts, ensuring reliable lubrication in demanding environments.
The thread size M 6 x 1.0 is one of the most common standards for grease nipples (Zerk fittings) according to DIN 71412. These small fittings are essential for supplying grease directly into bearings and moving parts under pressure. A precise and secure thread ensures that the nipple stays tight, prevents leaks, and keeps lubrication reliable.
With this hand tap, you can recut or restore damaged grease nipple threads – an easy and affordable solution compared to replacing entire components.
