AUTOMOTIVE DRILL & TAP SET - SAE - Astro Pneumatic

The Astro Pneumatic 7580 SAE Automotive Drill & Tap Set provides professional technicians and mechanics with a comprehensive solution for creating and repairing threads in a wide range of automotive applications. This essential kit covers over 90% of SAE automotive fastener sizes 1/2" and under, featuring durable taps and precisely engineered drill bits designed for performance and longevity in demanding shop environments.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Coverage: Addresses the majority of SAE automotive fastener sizes 1/2" and below, making it a versatile set for common vehicle repairs and maintenance.
• Durable Tap Construction: Taps are machined from a heat-treated, imported Japanese tool steel alloy, specifically chosen for its superior resistance to shattering compared to standard high carbon steel or TiN-coated alloy taps.
• Optimized HSS Drill Bits: Custom High-Speed Steel (HSS) drill bits are indexed with their corresponding tap sizes for quick identification and feature shorter lengths, three flats, and a reduced shank on sizes above 3/8" to ensure secure gripping and improved access with cordless and right-angle drills.
• Versatile Tap Driving Options: Taps can be efficiently driven by the included 72-tooth ratcheting wrench, which features a patented handle selector for rapid forward and reverse switching, or by standard 3/4" (19mm) sockets and wrenches.
• Enhanced Drilling Performance: Drill bits are M2 HSS with a 135-degree split point and a specialized coating, designed for superior chip removal and precise starting without pre-punching.
