    The hardest and most wear-resistant bits, the flutes clear chips and improve coolant flow. They prevent clogs and dissipate heat that can damage the bit and the hole. 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 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.

    Impact Wrench Pipe and Conduit Taps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Taps. Impact Wrench Pipe and Conduit Taps.
    Cut threads inside pipe and conduit 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. 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. This also means the tap is less likely to jam on chips and snap.
    You’ll need a VersaDrive chuck (sold separately) to install these taps into your impact wrench. You can also get chucks for impact drivers (sold separately).
    NPT ThreadAbout NPT Thread
    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.

    Strong-Hold

    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 drill bits, reamers, 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.
    Manganese Phosphate-Coated Steel—The coating on these chucks prevents rust.

    Reamers for Hole Alignment

    Enlarge holes to correct misalignment and overlap. Misaligned holes often have a narrow entry, so the tapered shape is easier to insert and makes more contact to remove the overlapping material. These are also known as bridge and car reamers.
    Round Shank
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Reamers. Reamers for Hole Alignment, Round Shank, Spiral Flute.

    Spiral Flute

    These reamers fit in the chuck of drill presses, turret lathes, and other machine and power tools, making them the most common shank type.
    Spiral Flute—Since these reamers clear chips better than straight flutes, they leave holes with a smoother finish. They're better for holes with breaks in the surface, such as a keyway, because they cut continuously across the breaks instead of moving in and out.
    High-Speed Steel—Durable and wear resistant, these are good for general purpose reaming in most materials.
    Left-Hand Spiral—These reamers push chips downward as they cut, so they're often used in through holes.
    Short Length—About 2" shorter than standard-length reamers of similar thicknesses, these give you room to maneuver in tight spaces.

    Reamers for Taper-Pin Holes

    Shape holes to match the profile of taper pins. After drilling a hole that matches the size of the small end of the taper pin you want to install, use these reamers to taper and finish the hole.

    Straight Flute

    Spiral Flute

    Turn these reamers by hand with an adjustable wrench, straight-handle tap wrench, or pin vise (sold separately).
    Straight Flute—The most common flute style, these reamers are suitable for a wide range of applications, but not recommended for holes with a keyway or other breaks in the surface.
    Spiral Flute—Since these reamers clear chips better than straight flutes, they leave holes with a smoother finish. They're better for holes with breaks in the surface, such as a keyway, because they cut continuously across the breaks instead of moving in and out.

    Use these end mills for general purpose milling in most material, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. They have a ball end for milling rounded slots, slopes, and contours. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs.
    4 Flutes—End mills with four flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.

    Use these versatile end mills for milling in most material, including aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. They have scooped corners for rounding the sharp edges of your workpiece.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. They stay sharper than coated end mills when used on soft materials like aluminum, leaving a better finish.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated end mills create less friction than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Aluminum Titanium Nitride (ALTiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel—Aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN)-coated end mills dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, the coating creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
