Product Benefits

Impact Chipbreaker action for effective swarf evacuation
Drill pilot holes and then tap in one fast easy operation
Ground flute twist drill creates the correct pilot hole size
Rated for material thickness no greater than the diameter of the drill-tap
Industrial grade Titanium Nitride coating reduces heat buildup and burn-out
Use on Impact to prevent dangerous kickback caused by handheld rotary tools
Heavy-duty hex shank design for secure non-slip operation
Impact-rated due to dual hardening process - allows up to 15X faster speed than traditional methods

Quick Guide

For fastest performance use on impact wrenches & impact drivers (Check minimum torque requirement)
Tapping Stainless Steel requires higher Impact torque
For maximum tapping depth at each DrillTap size - see Data Sheet
Use appropriate lubrication & correct RPM to achieve long tool life

Q: Can I use my impact wrench with VersaDrive Drill Taps
Yes, VersaDrive Drill Taps are specially hardened to allow them to be used with Impact Drivers and Wrenches, providing the operating instructions are followed. Versadrive Impact Tapping is up to 15 times faster than hand tapping, creating excellent threaded holes in seconds

Q: How many holes can I expect Sheet Metal Drill Taps to last
We have many customer reports and testimonials of Drill- taps lasting hundreds of holes or even more than a thousand. However, our tools are often used in a tough environment, sometimes with less-than-ideal working conditions so it can vary widely depending on the application and the user life expectancy. If you are getting less than 100-200 holes per tap as a rule of thumb, we can look at your application and suggest some improvements to help increase life expectancy.

Q: Can I Drill & tap Stainless steel using Sheet Metal Impact Drill Taps
Yes, Stainless Steel can be drill/tapped with no issues. For optimum tool life We recommend using lower RPM speeds, higher pressure and increased lubrication.

Q: Which Lubricant do you recommend for Impact Tapping
Speedlube is generally the best all-purpose lubricant, for fast, convenient and accurate aerosol application ensuring coverage inside the hole as well as on the tool. However, our BioCut paste is a very popular and efficient lubricant for dipping the tool directly into the tin. It’s also great for minimising run off or mess, on painted surfaces or other sensitive applications were run off is to be avoided. Aeropaste can be used if working in applications such as Overhead where a fluid lubricant will run off. Finally, BioCut Blue cutting fluid works particularly well with harder materials or difficult applications and is ideal forfor direct application onto the tool and into the hole when working on flat surfaces

Q: What Material Thickness can I Tap
As a rule of thumb, the maximum tapping thickness is the diameter of the thread, so an M10 Drill Tap has a maximum thickness recommendation of 10mm. For thicker materials we reccomend the VersaDrive Heavy Duty Drill Taps

Q: Can I use these for tapping Blind Holes
No Drill Taps cannot be used for Tapping Blind Holes as the drill point has to completely penetrate and exit the surface material before the threaded Tap can start cutting

Impact Taps are recommended for through hole applications only.
Pilot drill the exact tapping size hole for best results
Select correct NM torque power for impact wrench applications
Apply firm, steady feed pressure throughout the cut
Ensure the Tap is inserted squarely to the hole - misaligned taps will increase the risk of breakage.
When tapping thicker materials, to speed up the process it is advisable to pilot drill the hole first, before drill-tapping the hole
Ensure regular application of quality cooling lubricant, especially when drilling thick or hardened materials.
Hardened or heat-affected materials may require higher torque, reduced RPM and feed rates and extra coolant
Flame cut/punched holes will require more torque to tap than drilled holes due to heat buildup. Caution: Sometimes flame cut holes do not have parallel sides meaning risk of tap breakage.
Tap the hole in one pass where possible, applying adequate lubrication before you start.
301125- Sheet Metal Drill-Taps are intended for tapping material no greater than the tap diameter when driven with an impact wrench
301130- Heavy Duty Drill Taps are designed for use with Magnet Drills/Pillar Drills, or for tapping pre-drilled holes with an impact wrench. They are not designed for drill- tapping with hand-held rotary tools

Identify the torque range (for the cutting tool) required using the data sheet in question 2. (Example M12 in 12mm plate – Guide torque 320Nm)
Identify the torque range on your impact wrench or impact driver
Look up model number to see torque range
Check if there are speed/torque settings on the tool
Select the closest torque setting on the impact wrench/impact driver ABOVE the torque recommendation
(this is for the following 2 reasons)

- Higher torque will only be used on demand
- Too low torque will lead to the tool jamming or even snapping as the flutes stop cutting and the torque transfers to the tool
