    Hex Shank Drill Tap Sets for Drills and Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Taps. Hex Shank Drill Tap Sets for Drills and Screwdrivers, Plastic Case.

    Plastic Case

    Drill and tap holes in a range of diameters. With a drill bit point to drive into the workpiece, these tools can drill and tap holes in a single step. Connect them directly to drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank. They're made of high-speed steel and are for use on most metal and plastic. Their spiral flutes keep chips clear by drawing them back toward the tap and out of the hole. Recommended for use in through holes, all have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping.

    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.
    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.
