Greenlee LDTAP8-32 Combination Drill Tap Set 8-32 Hss

Product Description

The GREENLEE LDTAP8-32 is a combination drill and tap set designed to drill and tap a hole in a single operation. Built from high speed steel, it handles 8-32 threads and features a 2-flute design for clean chip evacuation. The tool measures 3 inches in overall length with a 2-inch drill length, making it well-suited for work in tight panel enclosures and metal junction boxes. It ships as a 1-piece set and includes a quick-change adapter for use with compatible drill drivers. Electricians and HVAC technicians reach for this tool when installing equipment that requires tapped holes in sheet metal or light-gauge steel panels.

This combination drill and tap is most commonly used in electrical and HVAC panel work where 8-32 machine screw threads are required. It is especially practical for field work involving knockout closures, equipment mounting brackets, and control panel hardware where pre-tapped holes are not present. The included quick-change adapter allows fast bit changes on the job site without additional tooling.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and control panel fabricators working with metal enclosures. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate eye protection. Apply cutting oil to extend tool life and improve thread quality when working with harder metals. Follow applicable NEC or manufacturer guidelines for fastener specifications in electrical enclosures.
