Hot tap drill

Unlike low-cost electrical hot tap drills (which are often prone to drill head jamming, tool failure, or safety risks) this hand-operated hot tap drill is engineered for safe, controlled, and accurate installation. Its robust mechanical design ensures smooth drilling performance and dependable results, even in demanding industrial environments.
