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.

I stay on your foot they don’t slip in your shoe
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
This is the only socks I wear Under Armour because they stay in place I wear a size 8, but they’re more comfortable with a large instead of a medium, but I wear both because I have them already and you can pull them to stretch them out a little bit

Great fit, truly doesn’t slide off heel
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium, Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I’ve scoured all the lands looking for a no-show sock that was 1) thin, 2) quality, soft, breathable material, 3) didn’t dig into my feet/heels, 4) doesn’t shrink, and most importantly 5) stays on the back of my heel without a bulky non-slip rubber piece and these check all the boxes! Perfect for low profile women’s work shoes like Keds, etc. Not low enough for most flats though. I wear a women’s size 9.

So good - I’m buying MORE.
Number of Items: 3, Color: White (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I’m gonna give you more detail than you need about why I’m buying these socks again. I’ve been the mom of girl athletes. I’ve been a model and a fashion director. I’ve worn every brand of shoe on the planet and never found a shoe that did NOT find a vulnerable spot on my foot to rub raw. Even my beloved white Jack Purcell sneakers. With that said - I don’t like socks. I’ve bought a TON of them in 35+ years.....all major brands. They shift. They lose their shape. They get holes in them and wear out too fast. Not these. I retired this year, and knowing I’d be in sneakers a lot, traveling, sightseeing ...... I bought these 6 months ago and have worn them constantly. I’ve traveled with them. I’ve washed them in hot water and bleach. The socks are like brand new. They are exactly the right cut so as not to be seen in a basic sneaker. The little silicone patch on the heel stays put. Not once have I had to dig down into my shoe and pull the sock back up. The socks have stayed soft and EXACTLY the same as the day they were new. Like I said - I am back to buy them again. Great quality!

Stay put!
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
Nice and thin, soft, and stay put. I wear an 8 shoe and don’t like a thick sock taking up room. These socks are a bit tight on big toe. Wish they came in large.
