Tapping Wrench, 1907

01

Artifact Overview

A tapping wrench turns a tool called a "tap," which is used to create screw threads on the interior sides of a piece of wood or metal. This threading helps material fit securely. For example, a nut and a bolt have threaded areas: the nut has interior threading--created by a tap--while the bolt has exterior threading--created by a die.
