Big Gator Tools has been the industry leader in innovative, precise, and high-quality tools since the company's inception in 2005. The company manufactures, packages, distributes, and sells its patented drill and tap guides, all of which are 100% USA-made, from the packaging to the final product.
In addition to their flagship drill and tap guides, Big Gator Tools began distributing some of their favorite products in 2016. Quality remains the top priority at the company, which is headquartered in Louisburg, KS, with additional offices in Drexel, MO, USA.
The V-DrillGuides and V-TapGuides, designed, patented, and manufactured by Big Gator Tools, are 100% made in the USA using heat-treated steel for enhanced durability and precision. The company even packages these tools in USA-made plastic clamshells and tubes, ensuring that their products will last for generations.
Big Gator Tools' drill and tap guides are designed to provide straight, accurate holes every time, making them ideal for a wide range of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. The V-Groove bottom and precision-ground base allow the guides to be used on corners, round surfaces, and flat materials, offering versatility and convenience.
The V-DrillGuides come in a variety of sizes, with standard and metric options available. The smallest guide features 21 drill holes ranging from 3/64" to #10, while the largest can accommodate holes up to 5/8". The guides also feature alignment markings and embedded hole size numbers for easy reference.
The V-TapGuides, on the other hand, are designed to guide hand-tapped threads inside holes, helping to prevent tap breakage and increase tap life. These guides are available in both coarse and fine thread options, catering to different screw thread insert applications.
One of the key features of Big Gator Tools' products is their durability. The heat-treated steel construction ensures that the guides can withstand the rigors of workshop use and maintain their accuracy over time. The embedded numbers and alignment markings further enhance the precision and ease of use.
Big Gator Tools' commitment to quality and innovation has earned them recognition, including multiple PTEN Innovation and Pro Tools Innovation Awards between 2015 and 2019 for their V-Groove design.
Whether you're working on a DIY project or a professional job, Big Gator Tools' drill and tap guides can help you achieve straight, accurate holes every time. From the smallest 3/64" guide to the largest 5/8" option, there's a V-DrillGuide or V-TapGuide to suit your needs.
