Long, gummy strands from soft metals won’t get stuck on the tap or in the hole. With two layers of slippery coating over spiral flutes, these taps prevent chip buildup that can harm the threads and the tap.

After using a large-diameter bit to drill a starter hole in a broken tap, drill out the tap with one of these tools. Sets include multiple extractors for use with different tap sizes and two picks for removing the remains.

Friction heat from these bits melts through sheet metal to produce a hole with a raised lip in seconds. The lip is approximately three times the material thickness, providing enough thread engagement to tap directly into thin sheet metal. That eliminates the need for weld nuts, rivet nuts, or other inserts. Because friction drilling displaces material rather than cutting it, there are no chips to clean up. The formed bushing is also stronger than the original sheet. Pair these bits with a friction drill and a collet, sold separately. Use them on a drill press, milling machine, or CNC machine.

With everything but the impact wrench, these sets are the fastest way to prepare holes with a hand tool. They include a selection of cutting tools and a chuck that lets you swap them in and out of your impact wrench. Made with hardened steel, the cutting tools are built to handle the high torque of the wrench without snapping, even in hard metals. This also means the bits cut holes two times faster than with a power drill, and the taps thread holes 15 times faster than with a tap wrench. The rapid hammering breaks and clears chips as you work to prevent jams. Since your wrench absorbs kickback, it won’t fight you if a cutting tool snags, reducing wrist strain and fatigue over long jobs.

The chucks hold any tool with a VersaDrive hex shank—including countersinks and extractors—so just one chuck and wrench handle any cutting task.
