As a machinist that makes fluted cutting tools, I will say if you want/need to exceed the specs of your tool: Use WAY more cutting oil than you think you need, especially when dealing with something like threads. It will protect the work from damage and will prolong the life of your tools. I’m glad Vince used SOME here but honestly oil is cheap compared to these bits. And you don’t even need a super special cutting oil. Anything that can soak heat and disperse chips is good. I work carpentry now and keep a bottle of canola oil in my car for any hole-making or metal cutting that needs to be done because it’s cheap, safe, and easy
@@rtgray7 when it comes to precision it matters a bit more but if you’re making a hole with a hand drill, precision ain’t the name of the game, and cooling is more important. Canola oil does a great job acting as a coolant and as a lubricant for cutting edges. We actually use a canola based oil in some of our machines. Use what works
A very famous mechanic says the same thing, oil is cheap, change your oil regularly and don't go over the milage, oil is cheap but replacing your engine will cost you your car 👌
The electroshock ab belt!!!! It will get you a 6 pack with no work in as little as 2 weeks! *warning burning, shock, staying fat and getting made fun of are all possible side effects of the ab belt*
you all prolly dont care but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
I am a repair tech for small appliances and have been so for about 25 years. What I would feel weak in the knees would be complicated repair of a gamer's computer. I can do easy stuff like micro soldering and removal of screws after taking photos to show how it goes back together. But I have experience with repairing lamps, mixers, waffle makers, non-computerised sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, clippers, etc.
Im a heavy duty diesel mining technician and i am so used to the old way of drilling out a hole and then having to find the right sized tap for the hole. Probably wont replace my tap and die set but could be useful for quick little jobs like attaching fenders or bolt on air tanks if the holes aren’t drilled yet
i got a really cheap bit set like this last year & my husband, a mechanic and machinist, lectured me for an hour about why these high speed bits should be a hard no. But, i got it for use in wood, making quick jigs & such & it works fine for that. He has eve used it a few times(something on the motorcycle, i think). i may het him these Milwaukee's? The set I got is cheaply made & wont hold up if he uses it in metal.
I’ve looked at these numerous times on the shelves and thought about it but then kept walking. After watching this video, I think it sold me on picking up a set and giving it a whirl. Thanks Vince
Vince, It looks like the design of the bit is what restricts it to 1/4" material. The tapping cutter starts after a 1/4" of drill bit. I'm sure the tap was shredding the 1/4" hole before the drill made it through the whole 1/2" of steel. These look good for quick drill/tapping on thinner material. And, yes, as others said, the kit really needs a 6-32 drill/tap. Thanks for another informative video.
1. If you want drill bits to last longer drilling into steel, a small pilot drill first. 2. Use cutting oil for faster cutting and cooling. You'll save drill bits by using oil as it helps to lubricate and cool the bit. For 1/8 inch or .125 thousandths and 1/4 or .250 thousandths steel that combo drill/tap bit looks good. More and more I'm seeing Metric sizes so I hope Milwaukee can come out with Metric drill/tap combo's.
A 60 ye old disabled grandma.i have lived alone over 20 yrs.i always did my own repairs if I knew what was required.having the right tools like having the right word. It makes more sense. I've loved tools since I was 5 yrs old.recently someone stole all my tools and art supplies and some antiques etc..I'm unable to start over.if I could though you better believe I'd take your advice.im done of the automatic cordless hammer,drills etc. not very strong and my arm fatigues quickly.bit I want you to know I've only recently Found you guys I subscribed and like all the videos.im currently marathon watching them.thank you ..I'll tell you the story of my tool thief next time .btw it's my landlord of 17 yrs.smh
Vince, thanks for covering an essential tool kit, especially for Sparkies. This will certainly help all the maintenance folks who thinks putting drywall screws into electrical boxes will save the day, until a qualified team comes through with proper Taps and makes it inspection ready. Most importantly, NEC compliance.
I like that. When my Surge pooped out while building a deck I was told by Milwaukee service that the surge was only meant for small fasteners like sheet metal screws. They fixed it under warranty but it sounds like he was full of crap after watching this.
From my experience the impact drill tap kit that seems to be the best is the greenlee set. One has never failed on me unless i was extremely abusing it
I went to school for machining. So drilling and tapping isnt a big deal if its done right. Thats where it all comes down too. Sure a seasoned journeyman machinist can break a tap in a piece of SS that they are machining, it happens daily. But now with stuff like this coming out, it makes it so anyone can drill and tap. Before you had to learn how to do it (and a huge factor was the metal type (SS is gummy, steel can be harder, Alum can be tricky with pockets in castings, etc), now you can just do it. Great video.
Vince, I no longer do auto mechanics -- thank god -- but boy this is a freaking dream tool. No oiling, no drilling and no tedious slow back and forth movements to make the threads. That's a miracle. However, I wouldn't say the old way is intimidating. It's just TEDIOUS as heck and very non productive.
None of these are intimidating tasks like he said. It's just a review of tools. If he didn't say intimidating it'd be fine but this isn't what I came to see.
I love drill and tap bits, I am a commercial plumber and we do a lot of renovations on older high-rise buildings. One of my jobs is to replace old tub trim... Half of them are so rusty the screws snap and we have to drill and tap new holes. These let me do 15 in the morning. With out these I would spend 2x the time.
I'm relatively new to construction and working on my own home right now. but I would love if you did a video on the different types of nailers because there seems to be several and I'm not sure what all the differences and how their best used. Love the channel and watch every video!
Same boat with me. Drill driver, impact driver, hammer drill, wtf is the difference. I use my little impact driver for literally everything because I'm not sure what the use case would be for me to use my drill driver. If someone made a video of USE CASES for those that would be helpful
With a separate drill bit and tap you can tailor the thread depth. This tool will work good for light duty tasks, or where you have to drill and tap many holes in light material though. Kept waiting for, but wait, order now and….
I am a Electrician and I have a set. I use quite often have had it for 4 years or so. It comes with 4 sizes the 6-32 to 1/4 20 comes in a nice plastic case that hasn't broke yet. That I am somewhat proud of from Harbor freight. I believe it was under 20 bucks. If they don't have them in the store in ase they are in the book to order.
So I know you do these videos for education purposes, but I gotta admit something. You're one hell of an entertaining salesman. I need these in my life. As a mechanic and car audio professional, there are 97.357 billion uses for these. Damn I love this channel.
My electrical career really took an up turn once I learned how to use all the tapping options. Other than that being able to drill everything and anything
I love mine! Use a little bit of oil and these things will last forever. I had to redo the screws holding the top of my planner on after the bolts broke off. Took 5 minutes and BOOM! Custom bolt holes! If you put them in your shockwave bit boxes be careful, they are very very sharp!
I love how they don’t even bother with a 6-32. I’ve broken every size of the cheap and expensive brands of these and the only way to go in my experience is in a drill ( not impact) on a low screw clutch setting 4-5 and pilot it first. Tap oil too of course. I’m very surprised he tapped that piece of angle at the end. I thought it would snap for sure!
At first, I was worried about Vince drilling and tapping dry on the thick one, but he had his protection on his head and he added lube, looked like it was smooth afterwards 😂
Vince You have shared one of my favourite accessories today. I have been useing the dill tap for 2 year now. My favorite used is adding a ground on in wall outlet boxes. One smooth operation to making the outlet code. I have all 10 sizes and Highly recommend to Carrying Carrying spars For high use thread size. Please keep sharing Innovative ideas and things make life easier.
Picked up the set Tuesday night used Wednesday to tap and die door latch plate in heavy Gauge steel frame and used it Thursday to tap and die Into stainless steel square tubing When's through like butter very little effort Definitely a must have for one stop tap and die
As an electrician, I've been using these for years. The problem with any set from Dewalt or Milwaukee, unlike my Greenlee set, there is no 6/32 for my trade. This looks like a good set aside from that
I think the reason the tap/drill is rated for thinner material is because of the 3in1 nature of it, the drilling is completed before the tapping begins and same with the countersinking, so by exceeding the thickness you are blunting your taps, and stripping the first portion of your threads, personally id look into picking up some proper machining helical taps and drill then powertap. It is fine for thin guage materials as specified on the product though.
Used these bits this week to repair a commercial pizza oven. Used on a stainless steel piece where the set screw was stripped and broken. Drilled out, tapped a new hole with these bits, now has a larger set screw. 1 week later and 1000+pizzas and its still good to go.
Late I know, but I bought a cheap set of metric drill taps and they work great on ali and for threading hardwoods. Steel? idk, not tried yet. Bonus you can get in tight to a side where a conventional tap wrench cannot fit. Word of warning…you must let the tap progress at its own rate and don’t buzz the trigger or it might either snap the bit, or chew out the threaded part of the work.
I buy cheap ones off Wish. Been using them for 3 years now. I use them with Tap Magic oil. Only one I’ve had to replace a couple times a year is the M6 bit. Use that one a TON
Wow, Vince I applaud you for NOT SNAPPING THE BIT IN HALF LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES...I can't tell you HOW MANY TIMES I have seen guys just SNAP the tap bits in half. When I was working in traffic signals, outside, the contractor would LITERALLY ORDER 100 of these 1/4-20 taps at a time...Because NO ONE knew how to use the properly...You drill normally THEN SLOW IT THE F*CK down, and pulse the trigger forward and reverse, just like you would with an old school tap/die set...
Greenlee has been making those for like over 20 years. Patent expiration is probably why Milwaukee makes then also. They are no substitute for a true tap and die set but nice for simple stuff.
Forget binge eating turkey! I think my eyeballs are getting full from all of this! Lol! Thank you again for a good recommendation I think this will make an excellent stocking stuffer!
Been using them in electrical trade for years now. I have a Greenlee set. Came out 5 years ago. Need to add a ground lug in an electrical panel? No problem.
I know this is supposed to be a commercial... but lots of trades know about these. Greenlee seems to be the one that started this combo bit. To extend the life always use a bit of Tap Magic. And these aren't the end-all-be-all for tapping a hole. Sometimes you need to use a Weld Nut, RivNut/Threadsert or a Flow Drill Bit... the skill comes in at knowing when to use which.
I’m a general contractor, self perform a lot of my work. There are very few tasks I am not comfortable overseeing/carrying out. But drywall is one of those that I refuse to touch. I hold my projects to a really high standard, and just know that while I can accomplish aspects of drywall well, a sub would be better suited for the job.
Thank you Sir! I am buying 3 of these for my work! 1) First set playing with under controlled conditions and see how they fail. 2) My set! 3) The Shop's set (because you know how that goes....).
I've had it since it came out (couple of years ago?) and have used it everyday for work. No issues with it and it runs like a champ still. Now that I think about it, the only thing that happens if it gets knocked, the light will automatically come on. I'll reach for it and the light will be on in my bag. Awesome otherwise
@@jasonbabila6006 That is true to an extent, I agree if they are larger bits. IMO smaller bits should be ok. Just a thought because a lot of times you end up paying more for the case.
it IS intimidating, when on a job, someone asks 'would you tap that?' I have a surprisingly useful China Tools version of this. Good for the $, but it could be better. Maybe i will grab this Milwaukee set for hubby, for Father's Day. Then steal it from him b4 the 4th of July; as is our tradition. Thanks-🔨Lisa♿
@@k.t_shootz6584 thankfully I make enough money to look like a professional with real tools. If I hired a guy and saw him pulling out harbor freight trash I’d tell him to leave. Bye Felicia
@@andrewengland971 that’s fine. Luckily my employer isn’t so shallow and understands that since he isn’t buying my tools that his opinion of them don’t matter as long as the job gets done.
I use the milwaukee easy release extension for electrical junction box tapping that are already installed above head and missing grounding screw. Also to add grounding bars. Makes me look like a pro.
I've seen so many impatient failures happen from taps in drills. You only cost yourself more money and time. These little Milwaukee bits almost have me ready to head to the homeless despot with my wallet open.
I am not a trades person and this has been one thing I never had to do but, dreed the day it would happen I needed to. Typically I just punched a hole in something run a bolt through hole and used fasteners. I am very impressed by these and dang it if you didn't make me want something again. Thanks man another great vid.
I use tec screws with a fine thread can get them to fix brick and block ties into structural girders, I use them for all sorts of stuff I will be seeing if they do these in metric sizes I love a new gadget 🤙🇬🇧
@@P_steez this is how my personal ranking works, Milwaukee makes the best power tools for construction purposes but some of the hand tools are good too but snap on is better on that front, but when it comes to gardening Makita takes the cake.
Well as a machinist just saying drilling and tapping in metal is not supposed to be done dry using oil works wonders also going back half a turn every so often to break the chip and not load the tap to much
Plastering is one thing I will never mess with. I’ll always drywall myself if the customer will go for it but a lot of people in my area think drywall is cheap. I have done some plaster in small areas and still will but a new kitchen or bathroom, no way. It’s not worth it and I can get people to handle it for so cheap that it’s not even worth my time.
Vince you should do a bunch of how to's videos for the beginners and Diy'ers, you would kill it, one example would be, how to use a circular saw, how to use a drill, etc, how to build a house 😂 giving out your tips and tricks, ppe-safety.
I always heard about how everyone despises tap and die. How they were annoying/ hard to do. I work at a place where I do it all day and just don’t see the issue people have. Throw it in drill quick in and out and it’s done
Nutserts everyday of the week for anything under 1/8" thickness. I can see how these would be handy for 1/8" to 1/4" material but after that thread taps all the way.
The reason why its only 1/4 inch steel is because the drill will strip out the threads when the point sinks deeper than the 1/4 inch tip, so whatever thickness you have only the last 1/4 inch will have proper threads. They should make a version of the bit with a longer tip for thicker materials, cool concept though... I would defiantly not use this current one on any large materials that needed to hold any type of weight / pressure.
Every big brand impact probably the same, but noticed if you were doing anything wider than angle or flat bar. The battery wouldn’t allow you drive the bit through far enough, at least not to countersink.
I wouldn't say I'm intimidated, but this does make the process faster and you don't have to carry around a lot of different tools, and have to pick through the different bits and make sure you have the correct size drill bit and tap. You simply grab one, make your center punch, drill, reverse and thread in your bolt. makes life a lot easier.
I do hvac so I automatically dip into plumbing and electrical. Not too deep tho in plumbing, water mains and high voltage are still pretty scary, glad I don't ever have to mess with water endless its a clogged primary
If You want these to last at all especially with an impact which I wouldn't recommend with a tap you should always use something like tap magic you'd be better off with a regular drill an impact is gonna beat the hell outta the teeth which leads to dull teeth and broken taps
Nope impact is the only way to go. Drill is going to break it everytime. Field tested myself 👍 Hard metal or thicker metal predrill hole 1st just big enough for the threads to come in contact then slow constant, steady with impact. Not balls out! feather the trigger. Pause if needed to keep centered. Run test run 1st on scrap. You have to get a feel for it. Drill just breaks it every time. Impact has the hit, let off hit again. the force you need to carve threading into metal. 👍
@@wylinout2257 I've power tapped hundreds of holes all the way down to 3 mm and smaller you need to use the correct predrill for the tap your using so you have at least 75 percent engagement there's plenty of charts in machinist handbook or available online if you're breaking taps with a drill you're going to fast put your drill in low speed and start slow taps are sharp but that hardening also makes them brittle any kind of impact is only going to dull the tap it also depends on what you're tapping different materials take different technique you can do it however you like I'm just giving you the same advice any machinist will and doing it the same way machinist have been doing it forever 👍👍👍
The Milwaukee threading drills snap very easy. Believe it or not the Harbor Freight brand is tougher just like their 6HP shop vac beats all.😉 Some Harbor Freight stuff surprised me.

Greenlee has been making those for like over 20 years. Patent expiration is probably why Milwaukee makes then also. They are no substitute for a true tap and die set but nice for simple stuff.
thank you for showing me a new tool
I have that Milwaukee sleeve, and I'm always stocked when getting a new sleeve but my real favorite one is my Malco sleeve.
I just found the Malco tools. I'm blown away by a few of their offerings.
Malco top of the line...all my hvac tools are malco
Forget binge eating turkey!
I think my eyeballs are getting full from all of this! Lol!
Thank you again for a good recommendation I think this will make an excellent stocking stuffer!
Those things are great for quick and dirty jobs.
Been using them in electrical trade for years now. I have a Greenlee set. Came out 5 years ago. Need to add a ground lug in an electrical panel? No problem.
I love when electricians see me working 480v hot. I work with all PPE and certified to do so, but I definitely understand their skepticism tho haha.
I know this is supposed to be a commercial... but lots of trades know about these. Greenlee seems to be the one that started this combo bit. To extend the life always use a bit of Tap Magic. And these aren't the end-all-be-all for tapping a hole. Sometimes you need to use a Weld Nut, RivNut/Threadsert or a Flow Drill Bit... the skill comes in at knowing when to use which.
Yup. I need these. Would be so helpful to be able to drill and recut threads when they're damaged.
Love me some drill taps. Keep a set in my tool bag at all times.
add some bolts / screws just in case 👍
Roofing is intimidating. Looking for leaks and trying to see where they are is a beast of a job especially in a high house.
Haha pumping silicone in anything that looks suspicious, then getting anxious next time it rains
It’s easy. I have a Roofing Sense 1983.
I’m a general contractor, self perform a lot of my work. There are very few tasks I am not comfortable overseeing/carrying out. But drywall is one of those that I refuse to touch. I hold my projects to a really high standard, and just know that while I can accomplish aspects of drywall well, a sub would be better suited for the job.
Thank you Sir! I am buying 3 of these for my work! 1) First set playing with under controlled conditions and see how they fail. 2) My set! 3) The Shop's set (because you know how that goes....).
I've had the m12 surge impact driver for a while now and I love that thing
I've had it since it came out (couple of years ago?) and have used it everyday for work. No issues with it and it runs like a champ still.
Now that I think about it, the only thing that happens if it gets knocked, the light will automatically come on. I'll reach for it and the light will be on in my bag. Awesome otherwise
I almost got the Milwaukee drill and tap set but I got the Greenlee set instead because it has a case.
Saw that too. I like cases 😂
Jason a plastic vitamin bottle with a locking top works well for small bits.
When it comes to taps, I don't want the taps hitting other metal tools or metal objects, it damages the cutting edges.
@@jasonbabila6006 That is true to an extent, I agree if they are larger bits. IMO smaller bits should be ok. Just a thought because a lot of times you end up paying more for the case.
The Greenlee drill tap set I bought last year was $26 at a local electrical supply shop.
I got 8 years good luck just for watching and subscribe !!!!!! I'm rich now thanks VCG !!!
Just got a milwaukee 15g DA finish battery gun. Drill and tap bits look good.
it IS intimidating, when on a job, someone asks 'would you tap that?' I have a surprisingly useful China Tools version of this. Good for the $, but it could be better. Maybe i will grab this Milwaukee set for hubby, for Father's Day. Then steal it from him b4 the 4th of July; as is our tradition. Thanks-🔨Lisa♿
I have had a klien tool set for 5 years. But their's comes in a nice little case.
Greenlee has been making these forever for electricians. They work on very thin soft metal. Be ready to buy singles all the time
Klein also.
And Greenlee gives you a nice little case.
@@andrewengland971 call me a cheap ass but I got mine from the harbor freight
@@k.t_shootz6584 thankfully I make enough money to look like a professional with real tools. If I hired a guy and saw him pulling out harbor freight trash I’d tell him to leave. Bye Felicia
@@andrewengland971 that’s fine. Luckily my employer isn’t so shallow and understands that since he isn’t buying my tools that his opinion of them don’t matter as long as the job gets done.
As a electrician it's a common tool don't be afraid push your self into different skills you want regret it
I use the milwaukee easy release extension for electrical junction box tapping that are already installed above head and missing grounding screw. Also to add grounding bars. Makes me look like a pro.
Boutta go find one at the local hard ware store. Thanks. I need this.
I'm gonna try them.... I normally hate tapping threads with a drill.
I've seen so many impatient failures happen from taps in drills. You only cost yourself more money and time. These little Milwaukee bits almost have me ready to head to the homeless despot with my wallet open.
Use the impact.
That's the game changer for these bits 👍
Use cutting oil it helps
I am not a trades person and this has been one thing I never had to do but, dreed the day it would happen I needed to. Typically I just punched a hole in something run a bolt through hole and used fasteners. I am very impressed by these and dang it if you didn't make me want something again. Thanks man another great vid.
I use tec screws with a fine thread can get them to fix brick and block ties into structural girders, I use them for all sorts of stuff I will be seeing if they do these in metric sizes I love a new gadget 🤙🇬🇧
you've turned me from a Ryobi DIYer to a Milwaukee DIYer.
Yo i think imma make the switch too
@@margaritoflores9709 you won’t regret it
@@tarn6800 I’m starting with Milwaukee power tools and snap on hand tools, is that what you’d go with in retrospect?
@@P_steez this is how my personal ranking works, Milwaukee makes the best power tools for construction purposes but some of the hand tools are good too but snap on is better on that front, but when it comes to gardening Makita takes the cake.
Aren't they both owned by tti
Well as a machinist just saying drilling and tapping in metal is not supposed to be done dry using oil works wonders also going back half a turn every so often to break the chip and not load the tap to much
I build aluminum screen rooms and these work awesome
Plastering is one thing I will never mess with. I’ll always drywall myself if the customer will go for it but a lot of people in my area think drywall is cheap. I have done some plaster in small areas and still will but a new kitchen or bathroom, no way. It’s not worth it and I can get people to handle it for so cheap that it’s not even worth my time.
Vince you should do a bunch of how to's videos for the beginners and Diy'ers, you would kill it, one example would be, how to use a circular saw, how to use a drill, etc, how to build a house 😂 giving out your tips and tricks, ppe-safety.
Vince, you're right I just picked up this Milwaukee fuel surge driver and tap set and it is amazing. Thanks
I always heard about how everyone despises tap and die. How they were annoying/ hard to do. I work at a place where I do it all day and just don’t see the issue people have. Throw it in drill quick in and out and it’s done
I use tech screw for drill bits all the time but that’s a nice counter-sunk hole
Also made by a number of other tool companies, dewalt, greenlee, probably klein and tooling manufacturers used in industry.
Bro, finally I agree with Vince.
wow thanks, great idea I shall be trying and using them.
Wow. That is awesome. Can’t wait to get a set for my garage
Nutserts everyday of the week for anything under 1/8" thickness. I can see how these would be handy for 1/8" to 1/4" material but after that thread taps all the way.
The reason why its only 1/4 inch steel is because the drill will strip out the threads when the point sinks deeper than the 1/4 inch tip, so whatever thickness you have only the last 1/4 inch will have proper threads. They should make a version of the bit with a longer tip for thicker materials, cool concept though... I would defiantly not use this current one on any large materials that needed to hold any type of weight / pressure.
Dewalt set I have lets me install commercial door hardware, closures, electronic locks, etc faster.
I have the Klein 4 piece kit, they are definitely awesome bits
I don't have the milwaukee set but I do have the dewalt variant. I never opened it but it def takes away the intimidation.
Yeah I’m trying to think of ways I could use this bit. I really just want to go buy some just to have
Every big brand impact probably the same, but noticed if you were doing anything wider than angle or flat bar. The battery wouldn’t allow you drive the bit through far enough, at least not to countersink.
Those bits do a ossum job!
I wouldn't say I'm intimidated, but this does make the process faster and you don't have to carry around a lot of different tools, and have to pick through the different bits and make sure you have the correct size drill bit and tap. You simply grab one, make your center punch, drill, reverse and thread in your bolt. makes life a lot easier.
I have 3 projects on the truck I can use these on! Definitely buying some.
I do hvac so I automatically dip into plumbing and electrical. Not too deep tho in plumbing, water mains and high voltage are still pretty scary, glad I don't ever have to mess with water endless its a clogged primary
Alright... those drill and taps are genius!
They work trust me I use them all the time
If You want these to last at all especially with an impact which I wouldn't recommend with a tap you should always use something like tap magic you'd be better off with a regular drill an impact is gonna beat the hell outta the teeth which leads to dull teeth and broken taps
Nope impact is the only way to go.
Drill is going to break it everytime.
Field tested myself 👍
Hard metal or thicker metal predrill hole 1st just big enough for the threads to come in contact then slow constant, steady with impact. Not balls out! feather the trigger. Pause if needed to keep centered.
Run test run 1st on scrap. You have to get a feel for it.
Drill just breaks it every time. Impact has the hit, let off hit again. the force you need to carve threading into metal. 👍
@@wylinout2257 I've power tapped hundreds of holes all the way down to 3 mm and smaller you need to use the correct predrill for the tap your using so you have at least 75 percent engagement there's plenty of charts in machinist handbook or available online if you're breaking taps with a drill you're going to fast put your drill in low speed and start slow taps are sharp but that hardening also makes them brittle any kind of impact is only going to dull the tap it also depends on what you're tapping different materials take different technique you can do it however you like I'm just giving you the same advice any machinist will and doing it the same way machinist have been doing it forever 👍👍👍
@@umahunter awesome thx for the tips 👍
The Milwaukee threading drills snap very easy. Believe it or not the Harbor Freight brand is tougher just like their 6HP shop vac beats all.😉
Some Harbor Freight stuff surprised me.
On the thin 18ga to get a very good amount to thread the sheet for the screw. It's called a flow drill.
Well Vince... I’m a union sprinkler fitter.... I’m doing service. Maybe doing a video on backing out 6 and 8 inch pipe. We can do it ..... show us!
as a car mechanic, shit starts when the tool or drill breaks inside the piece you want to extract, but there is always a way.
I honestly enjoy drilling and tapping holes, being a mechanic I’m no stranger to it lol
Using some of oil during drilling would definitely help prolong bits life🤘
Intimidation factor gone! Brother V,
Thanks for this video! It's REAL NICE LIKE!😅
