Overview
The Century 97310 is a metal threading tap with a powder coated finish, priced at 3.49 dollars. It's listed at a size of 6.0 by 1.00 and weighs 0.32 ounces.
It carries a strong 4.6-star rating across 430 reviews, and Amazon shows about 100 units bought in the past month, putting it among the more active sellers in this group.
At under 4 dollars, it's an easy low-risk pick if the 6.0 by 1.00 size matches your job. The material is listed only as 'Metal' rather than a named steel grade, so buyers who need chrome vanadium or high carbon steel specifically should confirm before ordering.
