The Var Tools Thru Axle Taps are professional-grade workshop tools designed to restore and clean the threads of thru-axle dropouts on modern bicycles. As more bikes move to thru-axle systems, precise and undamaged threads are essential for safety, stiffness, and reliable wheel retention. These taps allow mechanics and advanced home users to chase, clean, and correct slightly damaged or contaminated threads caused by cross-threading, corrosion, paint overspray, or dirt. By refreshing the threads, you help ensure that the thru-axle engages smoothly and tightens to the correct torque every time.
Ideal for use in a dedicated workshop or serious home garage, Var Tools Thru Axle Taps are typically made from durable, hardened steel to withstand repeated use on aluminum and steel frames and dropouts. They are engineered to follow the existing thread path, minimizing the risk of further damage when used correctly with cutting fluid or suitable lubricant. Whether you are building frames, servicing high-end road, gravel, or mountain bikes, or simply maintaining your own fleet, these taps are a valuable addition to your toolkit, helping extend the life of frames and forks and preventing costly replacements.
