    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.

    The most versatile taps resist heat and wear to stay sharp. They’re good for most metals and plastic. These sets include multiple sizes of plug chamfer taps for through holes and blind holes.
    Uncoated—The economical choice, these won't last as long as coated taps.

    Hex-Shank Tap and Drill Bit Sets for Drills and Powered Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tap and Drill Bit Sets. Hex-Shank Tap and Drill Bit Sets for Drills and Powered Screwdrivers.
    All taps and drill bits have a hex shank for direct connection to tools such as drills and power screwdrivers. They're made of high-speed steel and are for use on most metal and plastic. Taps have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping, but they’ll need space at the bottom of closed-end holes for chips to accumulate.

    Quick-Change Hex Shank Drill Taps for Drills and Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Taps. Quick-Change Hex Shank Drill Taps for Drills and Screwdrivers.
    Save time when you need to change drill taps frequently. The grooved shank snaps directly into drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank. However, they’re not rated for impact drivers. With a drill bit point to drive into the workpiece, these taps can drill and tap holes in a single step. 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. 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.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel—Titanium Nitride (TiN) coated taps resist heat and wear better than uncoated taps, letting them last up to twice as long.
