Champion DT22HEX Drill & Tap Combination — Hex Shank, One-Step Threading
The Champion DT22HEX series combines drilling and tapping into a single operation, dramatically reducing setup time and improving productivity. Featuring a 135° self-centering split point and hex shank design for impact drivers and quick-change chucks, these combination tools cut clean holes and produce accurate threads in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, cast iron and more.
Key Advantages
- 135° self-centering split point minimizes walking on the workpiece and improves starting accuracy.
- Extended drill and tap flutes engineered for threading thick steel and heavy-duty applications.
- Hex shank design for convenient use in impact drivers and quick-change drill chucks.
- Black & gold surface treatment improves wear resistance and overall tool life.
