Industrial Bosch BDT11S 11 Piece Tap and Drill Bit Set with T-Handle Wrench
The Bosch BDT11S 11-Piece Tap and Drill Bit Set operates as a commercial-grade thread-cutting kit engineered to execute precise right-hand internal threading and hole creation in mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and dense plastic materials. Manufactured from heat-treated high carbon steel with precision rolled threads, this 11-piece set couples plug taps ranging from #6-32 to 1/4"-20 directly with their corresponding wire-gauge pilot drill bits to eliminate pitch calculation errors and prevent tap binding. Incorporating no-skate drill bit tips for immediate hole entry without a center punch along with an adjustable T-handle tap wrench, this fractional threading kit restores stripped fastener holes and cuts fresh internal threads across electrical, HVAC, and machinery maintenance operations.
Best Used For:
- Internal Thread Repair & Re-Tapping: Restoring stripped internal threads on aluminum gear housings, steel mounting brackets, and machine enclosures.
- Metal Electrical Enclosure Threading: Drilling pilot holes and cutting clean #6-32 through 1/4"-20 internal machine screw threads in junction boxes and conduit fittings.
- Automotive & Mechanical Fastener Maintenance: Creating new threaded mounting holes in structural steel plates, cast iron frames, and non-ferrous motor mounts.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Matched Pilot Drill Bit Pairing: Supplies exact-diameter wire gauge drill bits for every tap size to ensure precise thread engagement depth.
- Heat-Treated High Carbon Steel Composition: Hardened tool steel formulation provides high wear resistance during manual or low-speed machine tapping.
- No-Skate Drill Bit Tip Geometry: Self-centering drill tips initiate immediate surface cutting to prevent wandering on curved metallic surfaces.
- Precision Rolled Tap Threads: Rolled thread profile delivers smooth chip evacuation and greater structural wall strength than standard cut threads.
- Adjustable Steel T-Handle Tap Wrench: Included hand wrench features collet jaws that clamp securely onto square tap shanks for balanced manual leverage.
- Laser-Etched Size Identifiers: High-visibility size and pitch markings permanently etched on all taps and bits enable rapid tool selection.

Pro-Tip: When cutting new internal threads in steel or cast iron using these plug taps, apply a generous amount of cutting oil to the tap flutes and turn the T-handle wrench clockwise 1/2 turn, then back off 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. Reversing rotation breaks the metal chip swarf away from the cutting teeth, preventing thread binding and keeping the tap from breaking inside blind holes.
