Klein Tools 32237 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread sizes does the Klein Tools high speed steel drill tap come in?
Three thread sizes: 6-32 (part 32237), 8-32 (part 32238) and 10-32 (part 32239). Those are the machine screw threads you hit most in panel and enclosure work, so if you are standardizing a truck stock, all three cover most mounting and grounding screws.
2) Will a Klein drill tap fit my impact driver or is it drill chuck only?
It has a 1/4 inch hex shank, so it drops into a standard three-jaw drill chuck or any 1/4 inch quick-change holder, including impact-driver style collets. Note the operation calls for low speed and light, steady pressure while the tap cuts threads, so a variable-speed drill gives you better control than hammering it.
3) How thick a piece of metal can this drill tap go through?
Up to 10 gauge metal. That covers most sheet metal enclosures, strut, junction boxes and control cabinet walls. Heavier structural steel is past its rated capacity, and you would want to drill and tap that in two separate operations.
4) Does this drill the hole and cut the thread in one pass, or do I need to pre-drill?
One pass. The drill tap drills and taps in a single operation, so there is no separate pilot bit and no tap handle. Back it out periodically to clear chips, then check the thread engagement before you drive your screw.
5) What size Klein drill tap for a 10-32 ground screw in a steel box?
The 10-32 version, part 32239. That is the standard thread for equipment grounding screws, and the tap is rated for mild steel up to 10 gauge, which covers typical steel boxes and enclosures.
6) What materials can I tap with this, and will it handle stainless?
The tap is rated for aluminum, brass, copper, mild steel and plastic. Stainless is not on that list, so don't plan on it for stainless enclosures or strut. For the listed materials the high speed steel body holds an edge through repeated holes.
7) Is this a standalone tool or a replacement tap for a Klein tapping tool?
It is a replacement tap design, meant to be swapped into your existing drill or quick-change holder when the old one dulls or snaps. You are buying the cutting element, not a kit with a driver.
