The Taper Tap is an internal catch fishing tool designed to
retrieve tubular members from the well bore. It is the most economical tool of
its kind for freeing fish. The Taper Tap is manufactured from high alloy steel
and special heat treated. The hardened cutting teeth (wickers) are
carbo-nitrided and machined on a shallow taper to provide an excellent grip for
light duty pick-up jobs. Plain watertight wickers are furnished as standard
equipment. Fluted wickers are also available on request. Taper Taps are
furnished either plain or threaded for skirts.
