18-piece HSS drill and tap set

This Westward 5PXJ2 kit combines drill bits and hand taps in a single 18-piece package for threading tasks. High-speed steel construction handles general-purpose metalwork. The assortment covers fractional, letter and wire gauge sizes. It suits mechanics and fabricators who need matched drilling and tapping tools.

Bright finish eases identification

Bits feature a 118-degree point angle for standard drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Bright uncoated surfaces make size markings easy to read in workshop lighting. Hand taps require a tap wrench and careful alignment to avoid breakage. Impact-rated use is not supported, so keep to manual or low-speed machine operation.

Verify thread sizes and material compatibility

Check that the included diameters — #21, #25, #29, #36, #7, F, U, 5/16 inch and 27/64 inch — match the threads you plan to cut. Confirm your workpiece material suits high-speed steel without coolant requirements beyond standard practice. Ensure you have a suitable tap wrench and drill chuck capacity for the largest bit.
