Threading kits, bolt and nut extractors, pipe cutter and other useful items.

1. Scribe

The first tool for marking workpieces. Made in the form of a ballpoint pen with a clip for easy carrying in a pocket. The tungsten tip leaves a thin and highly visible line on steel and glass, not to mention softer materials like wood and non-ferrous metals.

2. Automatic center punch

One of the most essential tools in plumbing. Allows you to mark places for making holes, leaving small pits that prevent the drill from slipping and increase the accuracy of the work. You just need to put the hardened tip to the surface of the material and press the center punch. There are models with and without a round handle. The former are slightly more expensive, but much more convenient.

3. Metric thread gauge

A useful device for measuring the pitch of internal and external threads from 0.25 to 6 mm. Useful for controlling and creating screw threads. Each of the blades is signed and corresponds to its size. It is very simple to use: just attach one of the blades to the threads and look at its markings.

4. A set of taps and dies

Universal set of tools for creating internal and external threads. The set includes taps M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 - three for each size (for blind and through holes), dies M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, as well as holders for him and auxiliary accessories, including a thread gauge.

5. Set of taps-drills

A special tool that drills a hole and simultaneously forms a thread in it. The taps are made of high speed steel and have hex shanks for installation in a screwdriver. The set contains six pieces: M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10.

6. Step drills

A set of three step drills, which are very convenient for making large holes in sheet metal and soft materials. The hex shank is specially designed for use with a drill or screwdriver. Sizes - 3-12 mm, 4-12 mm, 4-20 mm.

7. Deburring tool

A handy tool that will help you quickly remove burrs and clean bevels from bolts, studs, as well as small pipes and rods. Suitable for parts with a diameter of up to 28 mm. There are two versions to choose from: with a standard hex shank and with a triangular shank.

8. Countersink

This tool also allows you to chamfer and deburr, but already in the holes. Useful for expanding them to hide the screw heads. The diameter in the largest part is 13 mm, the shank is hex.

9. Chabert

Locksmith tools, the main function of which is to remove burrs from the edges of sheet materials and holes. The curved knife cuts off everything that is unnecessary, and thanks to the comfortable handle, you can work without the risk of scratching. Includes five spare blades (also sold separately).

10. Bolt extractors

And these tools come in handy for removing broken bolts and studs. A hole is drilled in the damaged fastener, then an extractor is screwed into it. It bites into the remainder of the bolt or stud and, due to the left-hand thread, unscrews the fragment. The set includes eight extractors of various sizes for working with fasteners from 4 to 45 mm in diameter.

11. Nut extractors

A similar tool to the previous one, but for loosening nuts with "lapped" edges. It works on the same principle: due to the left-side notches. The head is put on the damaged fasteners, securely engages and allows you to unscrew it. The set includes 13 extractors with a diameter of 8 to 19 mm.

12. Gaikol

Another assistant in disassembling damaged fasteners, which will help out in the most advanced cases and will help to defeat completely rusted nuts. The tool is put on from above, after which the stem with a sharp chisel at the end is tightened using a conventional wrench and simply cuts the stubborn nut. There are three versions of the product, which differ in size: 12, 14 and 18 mm.

13. Stamps

Die-cut stamps with numbers and all letters of the Latin alphabet, which are useful for stuffing various signatures on tools, metal and other surfaces. There are many options to choose from with font sizes from 2 to 12.5 mm.

14. Pipe cutter

A miniature tool that allows you to cut copper, brass, aluminum and plastic pipes, getting a perfectly smooth edge with a rounded bevel. Slide the tool over the pipe, tighten the clamping screw and rotate the device while holding the pipe itself. There are two versions on sale: for diameters 3–16 mm and 2–22 mm.

15. Oiler

A solid oiler with a reservoir made of durable transparent plastic and a flexible spout that allows you to get to the most inconvenient places. The peculiarity of the device is that its contents are literally injected under pressure. Thanks to this, it is possible to thoroughly lubricate the components, where the oil will not get in the usual way.
