Thread
M5 × 0.8
Confirm diameter and pitch
Both must match the fitting; a nominalM5 label elsewhere on the bicycle is insufficient.
What this choice changes
Chase the specifically identified frame-fitting thread
The TAP-8 addresses M5 × 0.8 frame-fitting threads. Park Tool names applications such as bottle mounts, rack/fender bosses and toe-clip fittings. These examples help identify the thread family, but the actual fitting must match; not every small screw on a bicycle uses this thread.
The precision-ground tap fits a conventional tap handle, which is not included. Choose it for the authorized thread-chasing operation after identifying pitch and material requirements. It does not establish that a badly stripped fitting can be restored or that a frame hole should be drilled larger.
Compare TAP-6 only when the job is the distinct 9/16-inch pedal-thread system. A different diameter or matching general word thread repair is not a substitute for the correct thread form and direction. The supplied TAP-8 is one tap, with the handle and any required cutting lubricant separate.

- No universal damaged-thread recovery or permission to drill/enlarge a frame fitting.
Questions before you choose
Will it repair anyM5 fitting?
Only the matchingM5 × 0.8 thread form is stated. Damage and material still determine whether chasing is appropriate.
Is a tap handle included?
No. Provide a suitable conventional handle and the required cutting setup.
Can I use it for pedal threads?
Not for the 9/16 in–20tpi system addressed by TAP-6. Match the exact thread rather than the general repair task.
