Ultimate drill and tap set for the professional who needs tools to perform. This set will save you time and money due to longer tool life and the ability to drill and tap faster. The Brute Platinum family is high performance. The XL5 Brute drill was developed to outperform costly Cobalt drills. It penetrates faster and is more flexible so Brute drills break less and last longer. Special Nomo surface treatment, premium high speed steel, 135 degree split point, and tapered web geometry make the XL5 drill the ultimate workhorse for drilling steel, stainless steel, titanium alloys and other hard to drill materials. XL22 spiral point taps, made of premium high speed steel, have a special surface treatment, and unique 3-flute geometry that provide longer tool life. The necked design allows for deeper trouble free tapping. The spiral point aligns easily and ejects chips ahead of the tap.
