    Our basic drill bits are also the most versatile. Cut holes in a variety of metals, from the softest aluminum to the hardest steel.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Short Length—The most rigid bits for drilling the straightest holes.
    Extended Length—Drill through panels and thick workpieces with our longest bits. Their length is good for creating deep holes but makes them less rigid than other bits. As a result, they are more prone to wobbling or breaking, especially when drilling hard materials.
    Black Oxide—The dark finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction to improve chip flow, so these bits can last 50% longer than uncoated bits.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated and oxide-coated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.
    Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) Coated—The hardest and most wear-resistant coating, especially at high temperatures. These bits are best for hard and abrasive materials, such as iron and titanium.
    Uncoated—The most economical option, uncoated bits perform best when used on low-carbon steel and aluminum. Polished to reduce friction, they're also known as bright finish bits.

    Chip-Clearing Tap and Drill Bit Sets for Through Holes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tap and Drill Bit Sets. Chip-Clearing Tap and Drill Bit Sets for Through Holes.
    Also known as gun taps, the taps in these sets have spiral-point flutes that push chips ahead of the tap and out of through holes. Because they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup, they produce threads more efficiently than standard taps and are suitable for production work. Taps have a square shank for compatibility with tap wrenches and tap holders for drill presses and milling machines. With a plug chamfer, they have 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping. All taps and drill bits are made of high-speed steel for use on most metal and plastic.

    Jobbers' Length

    Round Shank

    The hardest and most wear-resistant drill bits you can buy. Carbide bits stay sharp at high temperatures and faster speeds for the best performance on hard and difficult-to-machine materials. They last 10 to 20 times longer than their closest alternative, cobalt steel. Carbide can be brittle, however, so these bits require a rigid machine tool holder to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand drilling applications.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated bits, especially on materials like hardened steel, iron, and stainless steel.
    Uncoated—Excellent for a range of materials but won't last as long as coated bits.

    Short Length

    Round Shank

    The hardest and most wear-resistant bits with the longest life. Straight flutes withstand the heavy pressure needed to penetrate hardened steel. These bits cut more aggressively and resist stress better than spiral-flute bits. Carbide stays sharp at high temperatures and faster speeds for the best performance on hard and difficult-to-machine materials. It can be brittle, however, so these bits require a rigid machine tool holder to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand drilling applications.

    Harder and more wear resistant than cobalt steel, these carbide bits create an accurate starting place in your workpiece. Cut an indent, then continue drilling with a longer bit. The indent prevents slipping so the final hole is centered and precise. Carbide stays sharp at high temperatures and faster speeds. It can be brittle, however, so these bits require a rigid machine tool holder to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand drilling applications.

    Fabric Pouch

    Drill and tap holes in a range of diameters. With a drill bit point to drive into the workpiece, the taps in these sets can drill and tap holes in a single step. They also save you time when changing from tool to tool. The grooved shank snaps directly to drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank. However, these taps aren’t rated for impact drivers. They’re made of high-speed steel and are for use on most metal and plastic.
    Recommended for use in through holes, these taps have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they’re suitable for start-to-finish tapping.
    Spiral Flute—Taps with spiral flutes keep chips clear by drawing them back toward the tap and out of the hole.

    You only need one tool to turn these taps and install screws. The 1/4" hex shank fits hand or powered screwdrivers for threading holes. Then switch to a screwdriver bit to finish the job. To tap in hard-to-reach spots, add a bit extension. Taps have straight flutes that are good for most jobs.
    High-Speed Steel—The most versatile taps resist heat and wear to stay sharp. They’re good for most metals and plastic.
    Uncoated—The economical choice, these won't last as long as coated taps.
    Plug Chamfer—Our go-to chamfer type, these thread both through holes and blind holes. The tapered section is shorter than a taper chamfer and longer than bottoming chamfer. As a result, they're easier to turn than bottoming taps but require more force than taper taps.

    Spiral Flute

    Drill holes and cut threads without switching tools. Made of high-speed steel, these taps are for use on most metal and plastic. The square shank is compatible with tap holders for drill presses and milling machines. All have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel—Uncoated taps are strong enough for most tapping jobs but have the shortest tool life.
    Spiral Flute—Taps with spiral flutes keep chips clear by drawing them back toward the tap and out of the hole.

    Tight-Tolerance Water-Hardening W1 Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Tight-Tolerance Water-Hardening W1 Tool Steel Rods.
    Ready for turning in your lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to strict diameter and straightness tolerances. Also known as drill rod. With far less alloy content than other tool steel, W1 is the most machinable we offer. These rods are often used to make hammers, files, and reamers—tools that don't require the dimensional stability of A2 or O1. These rods are also decarb-free, which means any surface flaws created during the manufacturing process have been removed. This makes them even more machinable and leads to better results from heat treating or finishing. Heat treat the surface for extra wear resistance. Or, quench this steel in water to boost its hardness and strength, giving it a sharper, more durable edge for small tools.

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Drill Bits. Impact Wrench High-Speed Steel Drill Bit Sets.
    Cut holes of different sizes twice as fast as a power drill. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, the bits in these sets are built to handle the high torque of your impact wrench without snapping, even in large holes and hard materials such as stainless steel. A built-in pilot with a stepped tip centers the bit, prevents it from slipping, and drills with one third the pressure of standard bits. Since your wrench absorbs kickback, it won’t fight you if the bit snags, reducing wrist strain and fatigue during long jobs.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these bits into your impact wrench. You can also get chucks for impact drivers and magnetic-base drills (both sold separately). For jobs that don’t require the torque of an impact tool, you can fit these bits directly into a 1/2" chuck on a standard power drill.

    Cut the cleanest, quickest threads in a range of sizes without ever stopping for chips. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, the taps in these sets are built to handle the high torque of impact wrenches for smooth, continuous cutting. The rapid hammering breaks up chips and spiral flutes pull them out of the hole, so you never have to pause and reverse to clear them. They can thread both blind and through holes 15 times faster than by hand. They’re a good choice for threading large holes and working with hard metals.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these taps into your impact wrench.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Run at higher speeds and last twice as long as uncoated taps.
    Spiral Flute for Blind Holes—Pull chips back toward the tap so they won't build up in blind holes. When tapping brittle material like iron that creates fine or powdery debris, choose a straight-flute tap.

Since your wrench absorbs kickback, it won’t fight you if the bit snags, reducing wrist strain and fatigue during long jobs.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these bits into your impact wrench. You can also get chucks for impact drivers and magnetic-base drills (both sold separately). For jobs that don’t require the torque of an impact tool, you can fit these bits directly into a 1/2" chuck on a standard power drill.
    Short Length—The most rigid bits for drilling the straightest holes.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated and oxide-coated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.

    These chucks mount directly onto the square drive of your impact wrench. They work with any tool with a VersaDrive hex shank, so you don’t need to swap chucks to use reamers, taps, and other tools.
    Quick-Change Pull-Back Tool Release—Require just one hand to load. Push your tool in the chuck until you hear the ball detents click into place. To remove your tool, pull back the collar.
    Strong-Hold Push-Forward Tool Release—Hold cutting tools more securely than quick-change chucks. To insert and remove cutting tools, you must push a collar forward. Since impact force drives your cutting tool the opposite way, it can’t come loose from the chuck while you work.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tap and Drill Bit Sets. Impact Wrench Tap and Drill Bit Sets.
    Cut a range of hole sizes two times faster than power drills, then thread them 15 times faster than by hand. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, the tools in these sets are built to handle the high torque of impact wrenches without snapping. The drill bits have a built-in pilot with a stepped tip that centers the bit, prevents slipping, and drills with one third the pressure of standard bits. Your wrench’s rapid hammering keeps the taps moving forward for smooth, continuous cutting. Those rapid blows also help break and clear chips as you cut, so you don’t need to pause and reverse, even in large holes and tough materials. Since your wrench absorbs kickback, it won’t fight you when a cutting tool snags, reducing wrist strain and fatigue over long jobs.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install the bits and taps into your impact wrench. You can also get chucks for impact drivers and magnetic-base drills (both sold separately). For jobs that don’t require the torque of an impact tool, you can fit these drill bits and taps directly into a 1/2" chuck on a standard power drill.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated Hardened High-Speed Steel Tools—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated hardened high-speed steel tools have a longer tool life than carbon steel. They resist heat and wear better than uncoated tools, letting them last up to twice as long.
    Taper Chamfer—Taper-chamfer taps have 7-10 chamfered threads at the tip for cutting into the workpiece. They require less torque than other chamfer types, making them a good choice for starting threads and tapping through holes. However, a longer taper means that they cannot thread as close to the bottom of closed-end holes.

    Impact Wrench Tap, Drill Bit, and Reamer Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tap, Drill Bit, and Reamer Sets. Impact Wrench Tap, Drill Bit, and Reamer Sets, 13 Pieces.

    13 Pieces

    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.
    13 Pieces—Includes a range of drill bits, taps, and step reamers. All cutting tools are coated with titanium nitride (TiN) to hold up at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated and oxide-coated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.

    Thread holes 15 times faster than by hand. Made with an oversized shank and hardened high-speed steel, these taps are built to handle the high torque of impact wrenches to cut material quickly. Your wrench’s rapid hammering keeps these taps moving forward for smooth, continuous cutting.

    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Run at higher speeds and last twice as long as uncoated taps.
    Taper Chamfer—Good for both starting holes and threading through holes. These taps have the longest taper to gradually engage with the material, reducing the force needed to turn them. They can't reach the bottom of blind holes, however, so you will likely need to finish with a bottoming-chamfer tap.
