Review: Big Gatored - Great guide, nice and solid and arrived a lot quicker than stated too. Review: High quality item and well worth the money. - This guide is intended for tapping (threading) holes but works perfectly for drilling larger holes. High quality item which allows holes to be drilled square with a hand drill or hand power drill. The guide is machined to fine tolerances and there is virtually no slack using the correctly sized drill bit. I'm now able to drill accurate holes without the need for a drill press. In fact using this guide and a hand-held power drill produces more accurate results than the inexpensive drill press I was using. Very pleased. ## Features - Universal & portable V-Tap guide provides perpendicular alignment of ground thread taps on flat, round & square cornered materials - 9 guide holes cover 13 metric ground thread tap sizes: 1.6mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm - Heat-treated nickel alloy steel provides durability & accuracy - Precision ground base provides perpendicular alignment of tap on flat material - V-Groove aligns tap on round and square cornered materials ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0076OAODG | | Best Sellers Rank | 322,970 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1,042 in Taps & Dies | | Brand | Big Gator Tools | | Colour | Silver | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (340) | | Folded Knife Size | 63.5 mm x 25.4 mm x 25.4 mm | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00812210005641 | | Included Components | plastic storage tube | | Item Dimensions | 12.7 x 2.5 x 2.5 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Big Gator Tools MTG500NP V-Tap Guide | | Item Weight | 0.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Big Gator Tools | | Material | Plastic Alloy Steel | | Model Number | MTG500NP | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | MTG500NP | | UPC | 812210005641 799621135863 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Big Gator Tools - **Colour:** Silver - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 12.7 x 2.5 x 2.5 centimetres - **Item weight:** 0.6 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic Alloy Steel ## Images ![Big Gator Tools MTG500NP V-Tap Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51a-RVTZJdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Gatored *by H***O on 1 November 2025* Great guide, nice and solid and arrived a lot quicker than stated too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality item and well worth the money. *by M***N on 23 April 2016* This guide is intended for tapping (threading) holes but works perfectly for drilling larger holes.
