Irwin Tap & Drill Bit 5/16 - 18

This IRWIN® HANSON® 5/16-18 Tap (HCS) and Drill Bit (HSS) set helps you create and repair tools with precise thread sizes. The set's letter G bit attaches to standard chucks to drill holes with a 0.261-inch diameter. The Irwin high carbon steel tap relies on its high-strength composition to withstand tough jobs, and it delivers consistent results every time. This happens because the tap self-aligns without any special tools. The Irwin high-speed steel drill bit works quickly as well, and its strong body pairs well with the included tap. This general purpose set helps you create new threads in raw steel, which allows you to create your own tools at home, and it repairs damaged threads on old equipment.
