Tap And Die Sets

Precision is the hallmark of any successful automotive repair, and having a reliable tap and die set is essential for maintaining mechanical integrity. Whether you are dealing with a rusted bolt on a chassis or a stripped thread in an engine block, these tools allow you to restore functionality without replacing expensive components. At Midas, we provide sets engineered from high-grade carbon and high-speed steel to ensure they stand up to the rigorous demands of South African workshops and home garages alike.

A “tap” is used to cut or repair internal threads (inside a hole), while a “die” is used to create or clean external threads (on a bolt or rod). Our collection includes various sizes and pitches to match both metric and imperial requirements. To ensure your tools last, we recommend pairing them with the correct Lubricants to reduce heat and friction during the cutting process. If you find that a thread is beyond simple repair, you might need to explore our broader range of Repair Kits to find a more permanent solution.

For those looking to stock their garage with the best, check our latest Brochure Promotions or use our Store Locator to find a branch near you. If you need a specific thread pitch not listed, please refer to the contact form at the bottom of the page for expert assistance from our team.
