The IDEAL® line of combination drill taps efficiently combines the tasks of drilling, tapping, and deburring into one professional grade tool. Constructed from High Speed Steel (HSS) for strength and durability, these bits feature balanced hardened tapping edges and a ¼” hex shank, making them compatible with both cordless drills and impact drivers. Incorporating a SmoothStart™ tip, similar to our TKO™ Hole Cutters, which minimizes thread damage and extends the bit life. Unlike traditional single or double flute designs, IDEAL® Drill Taps boast a 3-flute design for faster chip removal and reduced binding. The deburring cutting edge ensures a clean hole and prevents over-drilling. Rated for drilling and tapping up to 10 gauge mild steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and even plastic, these drill taps are the professional’s choice for quality, performance, and durability.
