Product Description
Some skis are made with a metal sheet inside, or have a hard insert in the core, these skis generally require you tap the screw holes prior to mounting bindings. This tap has a thread pitch that matches that of an Alpine ski binding screw. We offer two versions of ski taps. This version has a convenient built-in handle and a shaft diameter designed to be used with a mounting jig, it can also be used free-hand in a pinch. The second version is a bit less expensive because you bring the tap handle to the game and it doesn't work with a jig but is free-hand only. For 4.1mm+ diameter holes only, will not work with smaller diameters.
- Built in handle.
- Shaft diameter fits snuggly in guide holes of mounting templates ensuring vertical tapping.
- Can be used with or without a jig.
- For 4.1mm+ diameter holes only, will not work with smaller diameters.
- Sold each.
How to use:
Tap slowly, when you feel the tap touch the bottom of the hole back stop and back it out slowly. When inserting screws be sure not to over tighten them to avoid stripping the hole. Always defer to the ski or binding manufacturer recommendations.

Works as intended, a bit pricey
Works as intended and recommended when mounting on metal topsheets. Seems overkill just to tap the thin metal top sheet. if they made a self-tapping screw I'd just reuse it to cut the threads before mounting the bindings with the proper screws. Mounted 22 Design Vice telemark bindings with this tap. I didn't use a tap handle, just a small crescent wrench readily available in my toolbox while carefully holding the tap vertical. A drill or tap guide/block like the Big Gator Tools would make it even easier.

Works great
It does just what it's suppose to. I used it to mount up a pair of axl tele bindings and it has the proper threading.

Works great!!
I used the tap for mounting an alpine-binding! It made a sharp, clear cut which gave the screw the best grip in the first two tuns. This lowers the risk of delaminating the ski. Nice tool!!

Quality tap, worked great.

a must have for mounting bindings
The is a must have if you mount bindings on skis with metal. I use it with all the bindings I mount. The AB is for alpine. Tele bindings usually use a different tap.
