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’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
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.
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.
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'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
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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 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.
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 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 😂
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!
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
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….
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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....).
@@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.
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.

@@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.
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
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...
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♿
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.
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.
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’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.
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.
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 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 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 🤙🇬🇧
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.

6/32 is so popular with electrical I’m shocked they don’t make them in the basic sets
Great tool to add to my collection
I have 3 projects on the truck I can use these on! Definitely buying some.
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.
Brilliant! Gonna order this now!
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...
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.
I build aluminum screen rooms and these work awesome
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.
Love millwaukee tools.
Seen em at the store one day and got them. They are downright fantastic
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.
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.
Intimidation factor gone! Brother V,
Thanks for this video! It's REAL NICE LIKE!😅
As a electrician it's a common tool don't be afraid push your self into different skills you want regret it
I have the Klein 4 piece kit, they are definitely awesome bits
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.
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.
Awesome ideas 💡 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
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
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.
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.
They work trust me I use them all the time
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.
you have the most awsome tools ever vince👍
Thank you thank you THANK YOU For doing that!
Dewalt set I have lets me install commercial door hardware, closures, electronic locks, etc faster.
Yeah I’m trying to think of ways I could use this bit. I really just want to go buy some just to have
VCG, keep up the great job!🤙🧰🤙😍
Funny I just bought these for a future project. Good to know they work so well. Appreciate the video!!
I use tech screw for drill bits all the time but that’s a nice counter-sunk hole
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 🤙🇬🇧
I can put up composite panels on sky rises , but don't want to do the glazers windows.
Definitely something add to the tool box for quick butchery 😀
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.
I use the Greenlees outstanding job so far
I hate snaking a main sewer line, I just call the pros and have them do it.
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.
Looks like a game changer...
