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

This is like one of those commercials you see on TV at 3am in the morning .

Why is everyone impressed? Klein and greenlee has had these babies for ages

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, 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.

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.

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

Why would you give a thumbs down? All we do here is learn, and the best thing in life is learning

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

I'm just here to get the 7 years of GOOD LUCK! Thanks for the great review Vince.

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.

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

Funny I just bought these for a future project. Good to know they work so well. Appreciate the video!!

Vince, you're right I just picked up this Milwaukee fuel surge driver and tap set and it is amazing. Thanks

Wow. That is awesome. Can’t wait to get a set for my garage

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.

I LOVE all the "toys" you are showing!!!!! 🙂

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.

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!

Lost my fear bro with this drill n tap. Awesome tool from Milwaukee!!!

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.

Alright... those drill and taps are genius!

Love me some drill taps. Keep a set in my tool bag at all times.

It's a must have for me now.

I'm ordering this tap set right now!

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!

I have been a mechanic for 15 years... That's fantastic

Brilliant! Gonna order this now!

Amazing! Thanks a lot for the valuable info. I will get one.

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.

wow thanks, great idea I shall be trying and using them.

VCG, keep up the great job!🤙🧰🤙😍

Thx for sharing! Those shelves are nice 👍🏻

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.

thank you for showing me a new tool

Awesome Video Vince Thank you. !!!

Yup. I need these. Would be so helpful to be able to drill and recut threads when they're damaged.

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.

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.

Intimidation factor gone! Brother V, Thanks for this video! It's REAL NICE LIKE!😅

Definitely something add to the tool box for quick butchery 😀

Those bits do a ossum job!

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!

Bro, finally I agree with Vince.

I think I'm in love with these

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 😂

Thank you thank you THANK YOU For doing that!

I have 3 projects on the truck I can use these on! Definitely buying some.

I've had the m12 surge impact driver for a while now and I love that thing

Soooooo sick!! I love Milwaukee tools!

Seen em at the store one day and got them. They are downright fantastic

Im gonna try them out, for sure.

Wow, that's innovative. These are prefect for mounting a new propane tank tray mount on my travel trailer A-frame as I convert from one tank to two tanks.

Added to shopping list 👌

Great tool to add to my collection

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.

These are great for working on commercial sites as an electrician. Gotta tap holes and put up boxes.

Going to give it. A shot ty

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.

Keep up the good work Vince

Aight... I'm impressed

you have the most awsome tools ever vince👍

Those things are great for quick and dirty jobs.

This type of videos is why Vince and the Gang are the best out there! Keep it up!

thank you for the review

Those look awesome👍

Well, Vince once again convinces me to buy something!

Love millwaukee tools.

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

Boutta go find one at the local hard ware store. Thanks. I need this.

Awesome ideas 💡 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Just got a milwaukee 15g DA finish battery gun. Drill and tap bits look good.

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.

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....).

Definitely getting this

How can anyone be stupid to not be subscribed to the best people on KZfaq...

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!

Very cool gang in the house!!

Definitely getting those

Well I’m snagging me this ASAP!!!

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

I have had a klien tool set for 5 years. But their's comes in a nice little case.

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.

I'm sold. Going to get some asap

I have the Klein 4 piece kit, they are definitely awesome bits

Yeah Vince! I got those! 🌟Golden⭐ Not fond of painting, but then I don't have a sprayer, lol.

I have that Milwaukee sleeve, and I'm always stocked when getting a new sleeve but my real favorite one is my Malco sleeve.

Looks like a game changer...

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 build aluminum screen rooms and these work awesome

I always break those drill taps. I’ll give these a shot

Your awesome thank you guys

I would oil, then tap the tool into the steel much slower. I’d also reverse it in and out as I moved deeper. That protects the tool for longevity.

Yeah I’m trying to think of ways I could use this bit. I really just want to go buy some just to have

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

I can put up composite panels on sky rises , but don't want to do the glazers windows.

Got to get some of those

I drill and tap just about every day . Sure would be easier than changing out two bits when I can just work with one. Definitely gonna buy these.

I bought one using them all the time when I was in tech school when I started working in the field I used them only once lol

I could see it being amazing for construction thought
