Since its inception in 2005, Big Gator Tools has been a leading innovator in the industry, providing high-quality, precise tools. Headquartered in Louisburg, KS, with additional offices in Drexel, MO, USA, the company manufactures, packages, distributes, and sells its patented drill and tap guides, all of which are 100% made in the USA, from the tools themselves to the packaging.
Starting in 2016, Big Gator Tools also began distributing some of its favorite products. Quality is the top priority at the company, which is renowned for its "Drill Straight - Every Time!" ethos. The company's diverse range of drill bit guides, named V-DrillGuides, and tap guides, called V-TapGuides, are designed to ensure accurate, straight holes and threads, whether working with wood, plastic, metal, or any other material.
All of Big Gator Tools' V-DrillGuides and V-TapGuides are crafted from 100% USA-made steel that is heat-treated for exceptional durability and precision. The guides feature a unique "V-groove" design on the bottom, allowing them to be used on corners, round surfaces, and flat materials with equal ease. Alignment markings on the sides and engraved hole size numbers further enhance the guides' accuracy and user-friendliness.
For precise hand-tapped threads, the V-TapGuide is an indispensable tool, guiding the tap to ensure straight, secure threads every time. The company also offers specialized tap guides for coarse and fine thread screw thread inserts.
Catering to a range of drilling needs, Big Gator Tools' V-DrillGuides are available in both standard and metric sizes, with the largest hole size being 5/8" and the smallest at 3/64". The Mini V-DrillGuide covers the 1/8" to 3/8" range, while the 3/8" to 1/2" and 33/64" to 5/8" guides cater to larger drilling requirements. For comprehensive drilling solutions, the company offers a Drill Set featuring 81 different drill hole sizes in 1/64" increments.
Recognized for their innovation, Big Gator Tools' V-DrillGuides and V-TapGuides have received multiple awards from PTEN and Pro Tools, including the coveted Innovation Awards in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019.
With their USA-made construction, heat-treated durability, and user-friendly features, Big Gator Tools' products are built to last for generations. Whether you're a professional contractor, a DIY enthusiast, or simply in need of consistently straight, accurate holes, these drill and tap guides are the solution for all your precision drilling needs.
