Orion Motor Tech TRK-A002-00 Metric Thread Chaser Set, 15-Piece, 7 Sizes

The hexagonal taps and dies in the Orion Motor Tech TRK-A002-00 set work with a socket wrench, giving automotive and shop repair tasks a practical way to clean and restore metric threads. With seven taps, seven dies and a thread file, the kit covers several common thread sizes in one organized set.

Its coated-steel tools are suited to keeping thread-restoration essentials together for workshop jobs and repairs.

Getting the most from it

Choose the tap or die that matches the thread size and pitch you are working on. The set covers M6x1.0, M8x1.25, M10x1.25, M10x1.5, M12x1.25, M12x1.5 and M12x1.75, so it can serve a range of metric thread-cleaning and restoration tasks. The included thread file adds another option for working on threads, while the hexagonal shape of the taps and dies lets you turn them with a socket wrench.

For example, when a fastener or threaded part needs attention during an automotive repair, the matching tool can help clean or restore its threads as part of the job. This gives you a repair-focused alternative to replacing a part straight away when its threads can be restored.

Where it shines

This kit is designed for automotive and shop repair, where metric threads appear across different tasks and having several sizes close at hand can be useful. The two M10 pitches and three M12 pitches provide options for matching the thread, rather than treating a diameter alone as the deciding factor. The M6 and M8 tools extend the set to smaller metric sizes.

The socket-wrench-compatible hexagonal design makes the tools straightforward to integrate into a workshop setup that already uses socket wrenches. Rather than keeping separate taps, dies and a file loose between jobs, the set brings these thread-restoration tools together for convenient access.

What to know

The 15-piece set contains seven taps, seven dies and one thread file. Its metric sizes are M6x1.0, M8x1.25, M10x1.25, M10x1.5, M12x1.25, M12x1.5 and M12x1.75. Checking both the size and pitch against the thread you are working on helps you select the appropriate tool for the task.

The tools are made from steel with a black oxide or zinc coating. A blow-moulded case holds and organizes the pieces for storage and transport between jobs, making it easier to keep the set together in a workshop or take it along to a repair location.

Should you buy it?

The Orion Motor Tech TRK-A002-00 is a useful choice for automotive and shop repair work that involves cleaning or restoring metric threads across the listed sizes. Its combination of taps, dies and a thread file gives you several thread-restoration tools in one case, while the hexagonal design supports use with a socket wrench. If your repair work calls for these metric sizes and pitches, this set brings practical coverage and organized storage to the job.
