I was afraid the 6-32 drill/tap would break the first time I used it but so far it has drilled and tapped 20 holes in 11 ga square tubing or my hot rod seat to attach the zigzag spring brackets. 10 more hole to go. This is the second one i have bought. I lost the first one it is so small. If course as soon as I reordered I found the first one but I kept them both so I have a spare just in case. These tools are tough and work great. Make sure you use plenty of tapping/drilling fluid or oil when using it.

This is my second purchase of a replacement 6/32 Greenlee Drill/Tap bit. The replacement is due to breaking the bit while drilling into 14 gauge steel. While Greenlee states that you can tap up to 10 gauge metal, I have found the 6/32 bit can not handle the thickness and have broken two bits as a result. However, if you use another drill bit 1/64 to 1/32 larger than the drill on the Drill/Tap bit to drill the hole, the 6/32 Drill/Tap bit is less likely to break when tapping.

I'm still using Greenlee drill and tap combos in the 1/4-20 and 10-24 sizes and am impressed with their performance. Used with a cutting oil they are very efficient. After drilling the registration holes in aluminum 1" pipe w/ .133 wall thickness, I chuck them into a 12 volt drill and run the tap forward on slow speed and then in reverse on slow speed. They work great and I would purchase again if one should break- hundreds of holes have been finished with a single tap. They are made right with the flutes displacing the material as you work. I highly recommend these tap/ drills- in my opinion, they are the best.

I have a complete set, this was a replacement. Buying individually is spendy, but with careful use they work great.
