Big Gator Tools was established in 2005 and is now marketing the most universal patented drill and tap guides ever sold. Guides are made from a special nickel alloyed steel that is heat-treated and ground along bottom surface to assure stability and accurate perpendicular alignment on flat surfaces. All guides have a 90 degree V-groove along the bottom that allows perpendicular alignment on round parts as well as corners. Big Gator Tools has been awarded the Innovative Drill Bit Guide Award and the Innovative Tap Guide Award from the Pro Tool Innovation Awards (PTIA) 2015. Big Gator Tools also accepted an award from Professional Tool & Equipment News (PTEN) 2013 Innovation Awards. Big Gator Tools won in the tool accessories category for their V-DrillGuides and V-TapGuides for all three awards.
