Both tools are made from M2 high-speed steel and finished with a titanium coating to help improve wear resistance and extend service life. The set is intended for use across a wide range of metals including copper, alloy steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and iron plate.

  • Includes 1 pc M5 x 0.8 Ti-coated tap and 1 pc 4.2mm Ti-coated drill bit
  • M5 tap dimensions: 58mm length; 21mm thread head; 5.0mm shank diameter; 4.0mm x 4.0mm square head
