Big Gator Drill Set & Single Drill Guide Tools

The Complete set of the V-DrillGuides by Big Gator Tools

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. The guides work great on corners and round and flat surfaces. 100% American-made quality steel and a Lifetime Warranty on every guide!

Easy to use: hold the drill guide on the material, clamp, and drill! Easy!

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.”

“Precision Tools for Professional Results”

NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT! The Metric V-DrillGuide® (10-14mm)

Big Gator Tools has now launched a larger metric drill guide that goes up to 14mm! This drill guide has a Lifetime Warranty and is made from hardened alloyed steel throughout the entire guide.

This drill bit guide, called the Metric V-DrillGuide® (10 – 14mm) is the 5th drill guide by Big Gator Tools and the 2nd metric version. This marks the 9th tool designed & patented by Big Gator Tools. Manufacture Part Number: MDG2000NP

Our V-DrillGuide® is a handy tool that’s portable to fit into awkward angles and allows you to drill straight. Drilling straight at times can be challenging or “eyeballing” it just might not work in your project. Let’s be precise!

The Metric V-DrillGuide® (10 – 14mm) has 9 smooth holes: 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14mm.

Use the drill bit guide on corners, round or flat parts. Time and money will be saved by drilling a hole only once with perfectly aligned holes on wood, plastic, metal or other surfaces. All of the drill guides feature a 90° “V-groove” design that runs through the entire guide. This “V-groove” is found on the bottom of the drill guide and ensures perpendicular alignment on round and cornered material. AKA: it works fantastic on corners and round edges! The hole sizes and hole alignment marks are permanently embedded onto the guide to allow quick and explanatory drilling sizes.

Easy to use: hold the drill guide on the material with the “V-groove” side resting on the drillable surface, clamp and drill. Drill Straight – Every Time!  

Quality tools for quality people is a value we uphold. This drill guide is 100% American made and will last for generations to come; we back that idea by offering a Lifetime Warranty.

Not into Metric? We have the Standard V-DrillGuide® – (3/8″ – 1/2″) & other sizes available. Other sizes —-> Click HERE

What is a tap guide?

 

What is a tap guide? A tap guide helps you start threaded holes straight. A tap guide accurately guides hand-tapped threads on the inside of a hole to accept a machine screw or bolt. If you start every hole straight, it will help prevent tap breakage and increase the tap life. The tap guide (also known as a tap block or tap jig) can also be used to restore an internal thread that has been damaged or to cut a new, larger thread in the case of severe damage or stripping.

The tap guides by Big Gator Tools, called V-TapGuides®, come in 2 sizes: Standard or Metric. The guides have a Lifetime Warranty and are 100% made in the USA.

All the patented V-TapGuides feature a 90° “V-groove” design that runs through the entire guide. This “V-groove” is found on the bottom of the tap guide and ensures perpendicular alignment on round and cornered material. This is how the term “V-TapGuide” came into play because of the innovative “V-groove” design. Because of this design, the V-TapGuides won 2 Innovation awards: 2015 Professional Tool Innovation Award and 2013 Professional Tool & Equipment Innovation Award.

How to use a tap guide: place the tap guide on a work surface, with the “V-groove” side resting on the surface. Insert the tap through the guide into the pre-drilled hole and turn it clockwise. The tap will then be aligned perpendicularly using the guide as the base; this will ensure a straight and accurately tapped hole. Every few turns, back the tap out counterclockwise to clear the chips. Make sure to use a good-quality tapping fluid as a lubricant while tapping. It’s beneficial to hand tap because the tap resistance can be felt and that feeling helps prevent tap breakage. Tap straight – every time! Tip: Make sure your pre-drilled hole matches the tap size that you need. Use a tap & drill chart.

The guides are made from hardened alloyed steel throughout the entire guide. The holes are smooth, unlike drilled or reamed holes. Time and money will be saved by tapping a hole once with perfectly aligned holes. The hole sizes are permanently embedded into the guide to allow quick and explanatory tapping. Use on wood, plastic, or metal surfaces. Scrap and re-work are almost eliminated completely when using the Standard V-TapGuide®. The tap guide works great on round parts, angled edges, and flat surfaces.

Specs – Standard V-TapGuide® Part #: STD500NP

The tap guide holes are sized for ANSI Standard Ground Hand Taps. The Standard V-TapGuide® has 9 holes: 5/8”, ½”, 7/16”, 3/8”, 5/16, ¼”, #10, #8, #6.

These 9 holes can accommodate 32 different Standard Ground Tap Sizes: 0-80, 1/64, 1-72, 2-56, 2-64, 3-48, 3-56, 4-36, 4-40, 4-48, 5-40, 5-44, 6-32, 6-36, 6-40, 8-32, 8-36, 8-40, 10-24, 10-32, 1/4-20, 1/4-28, 5/16-18, 5/16-24, 3/8-16, 3/8-24, 7/16-14, 7/16-20, 1/2-13, 1/2-20, 5/8-11, 5/8-18″. (The guide does cover tap sizes 0-80 to 5/8 except #12 and 9/16. 0-80 to the #6 sizes have the same size shank so only one hole size is needed.)
