    The carbide teeth on these steel saws cut hard metal such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and titanium. They can be sharpened, so they last longer than saws with carbide-tipped steel teeth. Use them on a drill or drill press. An arbor and pilot drill (sold separately) are required.

    Drill Taps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Taps. Drill Taps, Straight Flute.

    Straight 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.

    These cutters are perfectly sized for cutting holes that will be tapped later. Use them with magnetic-base drills. Unlike drill bits, these cut only on the periphery of the hole and produce a solid slug. They're also known as annular cutters.
    Hollow-Core Cutter Pilot Pins—Pilot pins align the cutter and eject the slug. They're also known as ejector pins.

    What you need to add or repair threads quickly in parts under stress or vibration. These inserts come with a closed-end tap, a drill bit, and an installation bit. Also known as E-Z Lok, they have Loctite® adhesive already applied, and the adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.

    Impact Wrench Tap Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Taps. Impact Wrench Tap Sets.
    Tap holes with a range of thread sizes 15 times faster than by hand. 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 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).
    Hardened High-Speed Steel—Multiple Tap Thread Sizes
    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.

    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, 28 Pieces.

    28 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.
    28 Pieces—Includes drill bits, taps, and step reamers plus reamers for hole alignment, drill taps, and hollow core cutters to further speed up your jobs. Use the drill taps to cut threaded holes in one smooth, continuous pass. The reamers enlarge holes and correct misalignment or overlap. The hollow-core cutters attach directly to your power drill, so you can form burr-free holes without a magnetic-base drill. Unlike drill bits, they cut only on the periphery of the hole and produce a solid slug, so they’re faster and leave a smoother edge. Two additional chucks let you use all these cutting tools with an impact driver and magnetic-base drill, too.
