Dewalt Accessories DWA1408 12-24 Nc Tap and Drill Bit Set

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DWA1408 is a 12-24 NC tap and drill bit set designed for creating and repairing internal threads in metal applications. The tap is machined from high-carbon steel for precise, accurate thread cutting, and the included No. 16 black oxide split point drill bit features a patented core diameter engineered to reduce breakage during demanding jobs. The split point geometry also helps prevent bit walk on entry. This two-piece set is packaged as a matched pair, making it a practical choice for HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals who thread metal fastener holes in the field or shop.

The DWA1408 is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where 12-24 NC threads are required, including electrical panel work, HVAC equipment mounting, and general metalwork. The matched drill and tap sizing eliminates the guesswork of selecting the correct pilot hole diameter. The set is sold in a quantity of two per package, making it convenient for stocking a service van or toolbox. It is appropriate for use in steel, aluminum, and other common metal substrates encountered in trade service work.
