This is a 3/8-16 Tap to fix stripped t-nuts.

How to use

1.Spray some cutting fluid, WD40 or other oil to aid in cutting.

2.Hold the tap in line with the t-nut and turn it clockwise. Try to keep it very straight as you turn, this is important.

3.Every few turns, back the tap out (counterclockwise) to clear away chips of loose material.

4.When the tap has passed through the t-nut, back it out, clean out chips and any cutting fluid or lubricant, and try bolt using your hand at first.

It works!

I wasn’t sure how difficult it would be to repair t-nuts with this thing, and to be honest, was a bit nervous that I would mess them up further. Turns out - it’s easy! Just make sure you put it in straight. It’s great to have all the t-nuts operational again! Agree with the other reviewers that it is hard to put together. I thought I was doing something wrong, but after checking these reviews I saw that it’s simply a matter of not being afraid to force it together.

Mr Fix it!

Great little purchase to save you some time and frustration. Works great at fixing t-nuts, which is important considering the time an energy needed to install those in the first place. Definitely worth getting one of these. Get it before you think you need it b/c once you need it, you won't want to wait if you don't have it on hand.

Simple once it's together

This tap works like a charm! Once you get it assembled (which can be tricky but just follow the picture), it's simple to use and works great! I've only had to use it a few times but haven't had any issues.

A must-have for any wall.

Great tap

Awesome tap! A little difficult to put together (comes in 3 parts) and no directions with it, but you do exactly what you think; muscle the thread side into the handle then screw it tight (like the picture) and it works like a charm. Just give them a call if you have trouble.
