The drill guides are like having a drill press for precision alignment. All the guides have a “v-groove” on the bottom to allow you to work on corners or round surfaces. Each guide is heat-treated for durability, allowing a tight tolerance.

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 6th drill guide by Big Gator Tools and the 4th standard version. This marks the 10th 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 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.

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.

2 Packaging Options copy

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.

Tubes-01

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!
