Curator's pick: Allegiance Plug Hand Tap Metric
Cheap taps shatter the moment you hit a slight misalignment, but these USA-made units have the right temper to handle consistent pressure without snapping off in your workpiece. I always go for the plug style here because the chamfer is short enough to get near the bottom of a hole while still being easy to start straight.
⚠ Worth knowing: When using the high-strength ropes like the Sterling HTP or Petzl AXIS, ensure your hardware is rated for static loads; these are designed for minimal stretch and will transfer the full force of a shock load directly to your anchors.
