NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT! The Standard V-DrillGuide 33/64″-5/8″

LOUISBURG, KANSAS – Big Gator Tools continues to expand its drill guide line with the introduction of the new Standard V-DrillGuide® (33/64”-5/8”). This drilling accessory allows users to have the precision of a drill press for a fraction of the price without losing accuracy. The Standard V-DrillGuide® (33/64”-5/8”) is expected to debut at the 2021 National Hardware Show October 21-23 in Las Vegas, NV.

This drill bit guide is the 6^th drill guide by Big Gator Tools and the 4th standard version. This marks the 10^th tool designed and patented by Big Gator Tools. Manufacturer Part Number: STD3000DGNP.

“This new Standard drill guide has 8 hole sizes, and is the largest Standard version available going up to 5/8”,” said Bruce Rooney, Owner of Big Gator Tools and designer of the Standard V-DrillGuide® (33/64”-5/8”). “It’s like a portable drill press, very precise. Drill straight, every time.”

The portable Standard V-DrillGuide® (33/64”-5/8”) is easy to use: position the drill guide on the material, clamp, and drill. It can be used on various surfaces.

Use on round, corners or flat materials. Can be used on metal, wood, plastic & more!

The Standard V-DrillGuide® (33/64”-5/8”) has 8 holes that will not be worn out because of the rigorous heat-treatment process we use for the steel tool. These holes are smooth, unlike drilled or reamed holes. The hole sizes and hole alignment marks are permanently embedded onto the guide to allow quick and explanatory drilling sizes. The 8-hole sizes (1/64” increments): are 33/64”, 17/32”, 35/64”, 9/16”, 37/64”, 19/32”, 39/64”, 5/8”.

All V-DrillGuides carry a lifetime warranty and are 100% USA-made. Time and money will be saved by drilling a hole once with perfectly aligned holes on wood, plastic, metal or other surfaces.

Big Gator Tools, a leading, innovative producer of hand tools, namely drill and tap guides and a family-owned and operated business, will represent the State of Kansas at the fourth annual Made in America Product Showcase, hosted by President Donald J. Trump at the White House on Monday, October 5, 2020.

One business from each of the 50 states have been invited to display their American-made products at the White House in Washington, D.C. Big Gator Tools plans to showcase their Drill and Tap Guides during the event and will be representing the State of Kansas.

The event highlights and celebrates American-Made products and encourages other companies to manufacture their products in the United States. Accompanying President Trump at this event will be the Vice President Mike Pence, members of the Administration and White House Staff.

We are incredibly honored to be chosen for this event at the White House as a representative of Kansas and can’t wait to present our tools!

Packaging: Protective Hanger Tube VS Clamshell Packaging

Hanger Tube VS Clamshell Packaging

The V-DrillGuide® and V-TapGuide® come in two different packages, depending on where or who you are ordering from. You will receive either a Plastic Protective Hanger Tube or Clamshell style packaging. If you order from a store front, the drill bit guides or tap guides will normally come in a clamshell package as shown below in option “B”. This allows buyers to see pictures of the product being used and more text describing the tools.

If you order online, the distributor might have chosen a “plastic storage tube” form of packaging as seen in the picture above as option “A”. All guides can safely fit into their specific protective cases. This keeps the guides more protected from the elements and easy to find in your toolbox. The hanger feature allows you to hang on a peg board, hook, or any other hanging organization for your tools. Tool organization is important for the long-lasting, durability of your tools. If yours did not come with a tube, one can be bought for a few dollars: Plastic Storage Cases.

Whether you received one in a hanger tube option or a clamshell option, the tools will still be the same, high-quality tool you expect. All of our V-DrillGuides & V-TapGuides have a Lifetime Warranty and are 100% USA Made.

We hope you are enjoying your tap guides and drill bit guides by Big Gator Tools. Good luck with all of your projects!

The 20th annual PTEN Innovation Awards have been decided, and Big Gator Tools is among the winners. Tool and accessory winners were recognized for the most innovative products introduced last year to the automotive aftermarket. These are best-in-class products that are truly ahead of their time.

“This new Metric drill guide has 9 holes, and is the largest Metric version available,” said Bruce Rooney, Owner of Big Gator Tools and designer of the Metric V-DrillGuide® (10-14mm). “This drill guide solves the biggest challenges portable drilling users face – drilling straight every time.”

A panel of judges consisting of technicians and shop owners weighed in on entries from top global manufacturers, and Big Gator Tools received an award for the Metric V-DrillGuide® (10-14mm) in the Hand Tool category. This year, PTEN magazine received a total of 148 product nominations. Big Gator Tools was one of the top products in 31 categories to have been recognized.

The portable Metric V-DrillGuide® (10-14mm) is easy to use: hold the drill guide on the material, clamp, and drill. It can be used on various surfaces. The Metric V-DrillGuide® (10-14mm) has 9 holes that will not be worn out because of the rigorous heat-treatment process we use for the steel tool.

All of our various V-DrillGuides stand out in the industry and are considered innovative due to the 90° “V-groove” design that runs through the entire guide. The “V-groove” is found on the bottom of the guides that allow users to drill on round or cornered material. The bottom also features a flat base to allow users to work on flat surfaces. All V-DrillGuides carry a lifetime warranty and are 100% USA-made. Time and money will be saved by drilling a hole once with perfectly aligned holes on wood, plastic, metal, or other surfaces.

Big Gator Tools Wins a 2018 Pro Tool Innovation Award

Judging for the 2018 Pro Tool Innovation Awards was completed this week and Big Gator Tools received an award for the Metric V-DrillGuide (10-14mm). A panel of judges made up of tool and media professionals from across the United States and Canada weighed in on entries from top global manufacturers.

Here’s what the judges had to say about Big Gator Tools – Metric V-DrillGuide (10-14mm): Big Gator Tools takes their Pro Tool Innovation Award-winning design to another level with an expansion into metric sizes. The guide plus a clamp or two set up perfect holes without a drill press, even on corners and round workpieces. They back their build quality with a lifetime warranty and it’s a Made in the USA product. At $30, it’s a lot cheaper than a drill press and a heck of a lot more portable.

Hundreds of power tools, hand tools, fasteners, and accessories were judged, and winners were decided based on industry innovation. Winners demonstrated achievement in any combination of the following: innovative features, advanced power delivery, groundbreaking ergonomics, technological advancements, and value. The Pro Tool Innovation Awards recognize best-in-class products that are truly ahead of their time.

This year, over 60 different tool manufacturers submitted nearly 300 tool entries in dozens of categories for a shot to win a 2018 Pro Tool Innovation Award.

“Manufacturers are consistently improving their tools. Each year, however, some exceed the norms and develop products which truly deserve recognition. Business owners, builders, contractors, and tradespeople really need to understand which products can help them work smarter and more efficiently,” said Clint DeBoer, Executive Director of the Pro Tool Innovation Awards. “Often, they can also save a lot of money in either material costs or time-savings. That innovation goes straight into their pocketbook.”
