    Hex-Bit Tap Sets

    The taps in these sets have the same hex shank as screwdriver bits. Snap them into the included driver to thread a range of hole sizes. Then switch to a screwdriver bit to install the fastener. Taps have straight flutes that are good for most jobs.

    Hex-Bit Taps

    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.

    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.
