The Park Tool TAP-6 Pedal Tap set is designed for professional bike mechanics and dedicated home enthusiasts who need to restore or clean damaged threads within bicycle crank arms. Its primary benefit is the ability to rescue expensive cranksets from stripped threads, ensuring a precise fit for new pedals. A notable caveat is that this tool requires mechanical aptitude and the correct use of a tap handle to avoid cross-threading or damaging the crank arm material further.

No, the TAP-6 set consists of the taps only. You will need a separate, standard-sized tap handle to operate them.
This tool is designed for metal (steel or alloy) crank arms. Use caution and consult your crank manufacturer if dealing with carbon fiber, as the steel insert in the carbon arm may be sensitive to tap pressure.
Yes, the set includes one tap for the right-hand thread (drive side) and one tap for the left-hand thread (non-drive side).
The Park Tool TAP-6 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Yes, 9/16 inch x 20 is the industry standard for virtually all modern adult bicycle pedals.
Ensure the tap is perfectly square to the face of the crank arm before applying downward pressure.
Back the tap out every half-turn to clear debris and re-apply cutting fluid.
To use the TAP-6, you must secure the tap into a standard tap handle before beginning. Always verify that you have the correct tap for the side of the bike you are working on; the left-hand thread is for the non-drive side crank arm. Apply a generous amount of cutting fluid to the tap before starting to prevent overheating and ensure smooth material removal. After use, clean the tap thoroughly with a brush or rag to remove all metal filings, apply a light coat of bike-specific oil to prevent rust, and store in a protective case to keep the cutting edges sharp.
