August 27, 2025 – AutomationDirect has added Viking drill bits, including double-ended, jobber-length, mechanic-length, screw-machine-length, and split point step bits, which are available individually or in sets and come in titanium nitride (TiN), gold oxide, or black oxide finishes.
Viking split point drill bits are self-centering and come with 118° or 135° point angles to deliver enhanced penetration and cleaner, more accurate holes. New combination drill bit and machine taps drill and thread in a single operation, streamlining production and reducing setup time. These dual-function tools are offered in either a 1/4-inch hex shank or a 3-flat shank for compatibility with standard drivers. Viking hand taps, machine taps, and taper pipe taps are incredibly versatile and ideal for applications across manual or CNC machining tasks and designed for use on stainless steel or iron. Ratcheting T-handle tap wrenches feature a three-position gear box, allowing forward, reverse, and locked operation for efficient ratcheting control.
