The \"51\" prefix in Smith Tool's numbering system identifies the tension-compression (floating) adapter series, and the \"010\" suffix designates the collet size — in this case an SI-010 split collet accepting taps in the #0–#10 range (approximately up to 10-32 \/ #10 tap size), as confirmed by the matching SI-010 collet shown in the second photo. The front-end collet and black oxide–finished steel body feature a knurled grip ring for hand tightening, a set-screw drive collar, and a floating mechanism that allows both push (compression) and pull (tension) travel to reduce tap breakage and thread-pitch errors. This unit is new-old-stock and includes the SI-010 split collet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:12px;font-size:16px;color:#56555b;border-bottom:2px solid #85c94f;padding-bottom:6px;\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSmith Tool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eModel \/ MPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e51-010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eCollet MPN (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSI-010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eAdapter Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eTension-Compression (Floating) Tap Adapter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eCollet Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSI (Smith Tool split tap collet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eTap Size Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e#0 – #10 (matches SI-010 collet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eBody Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBlack oxide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eDrive Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSet-screw drive collar w\/ knurled grip ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DDT2 (Cutters)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49792739410135,"sku":"4353j363","price":43.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/0626\/7095\/files\/smith-tool-51-010-tension-compression-tap-adapter-collet-chuck-1.jpg?v=1789476288","url":"https:\/\/dansdiscounttools.com\/products\/smith-tool-51-010-tension-compression-tap-adapter-collet-chuck","provider":"Dan's Discount Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
