Its great for roller furler line cleats.  There are other random hardware installations that would benefit from this if you have a power drill, instead of trying to use self tapping screws. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have found that using machine screws with a fine tread, 8-32, work better for mounting cleats to your crossbar and mast than using course thread self tapping screws which tend to go in crooked and then start to wiggle after a while.  If you use this tap and put a 8-32 screw they will hold much better and last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MISC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53228692341100,"sku":"33-9051","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/1183\/9019\/files\/33-9051.jpg?v=1781720827","url":"https:\/\/murrays.com\/products\/8-32-drill-bit-and-tap","provider":"Murrays Sports ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
