Meet our namesake: Tap Buddy

One tool, one step, endless ease.

Tap Buddy is designed for manually drilling and tapping holes, whether using a tap wrench or a drill. Ideal for both simple and intricate jobs, it provides clean, efficient cooling, lubrication, and chip removal.

Compatible with a range of drill bits and taps, Tap Buddy replaces messy, cumbersome methods with a simple, self-contained solution.

Whether you’re wedged in a scissor lift, straddling a beam, or contorting around a machine, you don’t always have a spare hand. Sometimes you need a buddy.

Tap Buddy’s simple, ergonomic design with its built-in base magnet and interchangeable Clix accessories eliminates the need for additional materials or additional hands while drilling and tapping.

Other benefits include:

• Speed up your workflow - no more constant stops to lube and clean.

• Save money - use less fluid, replace fewer bits and taps.

• Keep it clean - no drips, no spills, no cleanup. 

• Safety first - metal shavings stay put inside Tap Buddy.

Tap Buddy is an innovative tool designed for efficiency and lasting performance.

Constructed from oil- and heat-resistant PETG plastic, it’s built to house cutting fluid and safely cool bits. Internal brushes provide hands-free cleaning and lubrication of various-sized taps and bits, while a removable strainer captures shavings for easy cleanup and fluid reuse.

A built-in base magnet keeps Tap Buddy secure on any metal surface, while the leak-proof plug prevents spills.

With the modular Clix system, Tap Buddy adapts to any job with customizable accessories (sold separately) for easy storage, portability, and use.

Tap Buddy requires little setup and maintenance, ensuring convenience is built-in.

Proudly designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA, Tap Buddy reflects precision engineering and thorough testing to deliver reliable results.
