    Drill/Taps

    My Kit arrives in a few days. Getting tooling ready. Any advise on brand of quality Drill Taps to buy, and sizes you needed. i.e. 10-32 for Firewall.
    Thanks

    Drill Taps

    This is the set I use at work. Work great and last a long time. Only warning though. Use a good cutting/tap oil every time or you will ruin them quickly.

    Drill bits, I have Dewalt ti-ni. They are great. Not sure what brand my taps are.

    Whatever brand you get it is worth paying a bit more to have them guaranteed for life (and not some limited warranty). I have a local supplier that I use where I am that supplies brands that are guaranteed for life to the original purchaser. Since I always buy those type of items from the same location they get to know you (and your project which keeps their interest even more) which makes it easy even if you don't remember to bring your receipt (which is why I have a big clear plastic container with a slot in the lid in my shop to dump them in so I dont lose them and the wife can then grab and file them for me ) The same applies to some of my tools, it's worth the expense in my case as my son is a mechanic and "borrows" dertain tools every so often.
