Restore your frame´s integrity and ensure perfect wheel alignment with the VAR Thru Axle Taps Tool. An essential addition to any professional workshop or serious home mechanic´s toolkit, this precision instrument is specifically designed to solve one of the most common and frustrating issues on modern bicycles: damaged or dirty thru-axle threads. Whether from cross-threading, impact, or the simple accumulation of grime and corrosion, compromised threads in your frame´s dropout can lead to a loose axle, creaking, and potential long-term damage. This tool provides a professional, cost-effective solution to renovate and restore these critical threads to factory-fresh condition.

Engineered for performance and longevity, the VAR Thru Axle Tap allows you to cleanly chase and re-cut the 12x1.75mm threads found on many contemporary mountain, gravel, and road bike frames. By carefully running this tap through the dropout, you can realign distorted threads, remove burrs, and clear out hardened debris, ensuring your thru-axle engages smoothly and securely every time. This not only simplifies wheel installation and removal but also protects your investment by extending the life of your frame and preventing the need for more costly repairs. Its precise engineering guarantees that you are restoring the thread to its exact specification, maintaining the structural integrity and safety of your bicycle.

Crafted for the demanding environment of a busy bike shop, this tool is built to last. Its robust construction ensures it can handle repeated use, providing reliable performance for countless repairs. When paired with the appropriate VAR tap handle, it offers the leverage and control necessary to perform the repair with confidence and accuracy.

For optimal results and to maximize the lifespan of both the tool and your frame, it is imperative to use this tap with a high-quality cutting fluid, such as VAR´s CD-77000 Cutting Oïl. The oil reduces friction, dissipates heat, and helps flush away metal shavings, resulting in a cleaner, more precise cut and preserving the sharpness of the tap
